Hey folks!
I just wanted to post a couple pics of my rosette for number 2. I owe a big thanks to Todd Rose for giving me a few pointers on this. This has not been put together yet and cut out. Just a dry run.

It is Brazilian Cherry, Maple, & Macassar Ebony. In addition there is a pic of the back of the guitar so you can see how the rosette will fit into the whole thing. Build #2 is an OM....3 piece back (Brazilian Cherry Wedge, Maple strips, and Mahogany)....Sitka top.

Chris

Chris dude, no worries man. I'm only half as mean looking as JJ's made me out to be (and how sad that he's littered you perfectly good rosette thread with such rubbish, tisk tisk JJ)

Chris, that is going to be one nice looking rosette dude. Looking forward to seeing it on the top.

Chris, you have only a few minutes to make edits to your post. It was done this way to prevent people from erasing or editing their post well after it created a stir.

Yes...I will be bordering the rosette with a Macassar Ebony purf line....maybe 20 thou or so. Something that goes well with the small pieces of ebony that are already in the rosette. Right now I am hunting something black to use in the neck lamination. Having trouble with that. I'd like to carry that design theme into the neck.

Thanks fer lookin!
Chris
