Chris,
It's from Feb. '08 so it's not in the library, but it will show up in a search from the main forum page. The title is "Classical rosettes. Any ideas for different styles?". 92 posts and a lot of cool stuff. A must read.

This is the rosette for one I'm working on now; a classical in curly black walnut.


That is just incredible... Thats all I can say.

There is a rosette thread on MIMF where Mr. Carruth shows some of his jigs for making these rosettes. I've been attempting some in Ken Franklin's style. I'm getting fair at it. I expect to attempt something like Al's in about 10 years.
My latest.


Love the hockey sticks :)

Here is something I am working on. It needs some trimming and purfling, but you get the idea.

I love these threads. What a creative bunch hang out here.
I just posted this on another thread, but here's a recent rosette from our shop to add to the collection.

I'm still just a student but i thought I'd post my attempts at rosettes. Not the most accurate of work, but I'm improving :) The one with the silver is looking a lot better now that the epoxy has been cleaned off.

Those are both very interesting, and artistic. Nice job.

Howdy, Conor, and welcome to the forum!
As for your rosettes: that's some out-of-the-box thinking for sure! Really impressive. Now what could you do with a star-shaped soundhole?
