One of the rosettes is going to be a replica of the one used for the zebrano guitar that I made last year from this remarkable lump of spalted beech.
I used a bandsaw to cut 2 thin (3mm) slices …
… and trimmed and book matched them to create a symmetrical pattern.
A card with a rosette shaped cut out helps give an idea of what the finished rosette will look like.
I use veneer tape to keep the two pieces in registration while they are glued to the base that I described in the previous post.
Clamping up.
Out of the press and ready to be planed flat and cut into shape. The veneer tape comes off easily if a little hot water is brushed on.
The next post will be about the construction of a different sort of rosette.
