Looking for fingerboard

[dmonroe]

I'm looking for an ebony fingerboard. I've tried Stewmac and Luthier's Merc. The issue is that I want either one with fretslots cut AND with the inlays/markers. I intend to end up with a lined fretless epoxy-coated board. Every place I've looked I have not been able to find one that's either finished or that has slots AND markers. It's for a 34" scale Carvin 4-string. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Have you asked Carvin?

Do you know anyone with a drill press? Inlaying (dot) markers is pretty straight forward.
Besides that, you're not going to do any radius on the fingerboard?

Now when you say Inlays/markers, I'm assuming that you're referring to fretslot markers and dot inlays?

Errr......(trying to not be a smartA** here) yes, I called Carvin. They only sell necks with fingerboards on them. They will not sell them separate. The guy I talked to was very helpful though and gave me a couple of places to check.

Thats it exactly. I have a radiused sanding block from Stewmac. I can even get one with slots precut, fill them myself and epoxy it afterwards. I just don't seem to be able to find one with the dots (or something more interesting) already there. Actually I supposed I could use the Machine tool shop at my school and use one of their vertical mills with the digital read-out. Just trying to save some of my very, VERY limited time.
