    "​“Martin D-50 Koa Deluxe” Acoustic Guitar, 2003, Pearl Works, C. F. Martin & Co. – This instrument’s inlaid work depicts Martin’s traditional “Tree of Life” design. The vine patterns are cut from dark-heart abalone shell and are outlined in mother-of-pearl. Prior to Sifel’s involvement, the Martin guitar company was unable to expand any “standard” production models with this level of decoration because it could not effectively be duplicated beyond the one-off examples. ",
    "​“Night Dive” OM Guitar, 2004, Pearl Works, C. F. Martin & Co. – This instrument illustrates the process of collecting shells for inlay. The center of the fretboard depicts divers collecting abalone shells, rendered as if seen through rippling water. Chuck Erikson, known as the “Duke of Pearl,” holds a lantern that lights the scene and gathers the shells that the divers collect. Sifel is depicted with his power saw inside a boat, and Grit Laskin, an inlay artisan, is peering into the scene from behind the boat. The materials for this piece include reconstituted stone and Corian. "
