This rosette is a departure from the abalone versions I've recently installed. It's a simple radial design in Macassar ebony which I hope will work well in the visual sense; the final verdict will have to wait until I can marry it with the guitar's other decorative elements and see it as part of an overall design.
Dimensions marked on 1/8" MDF
Sliced and diced: ready for tapering
Tapering the wedges on the disk sander
Wedges tapered and glued
Routed to size - a spiral down-cut router bit keeps things tidy
Ready for installation in a redwood top
I have two of these rosettes ready to install along with their edge purflings. I'll post pictures when they're done.
Cheers
Pete
