Post subject:  Harp Guitar Rosettes

Well, I have put the back on the harp guitar, time to assemble the top. I want to use a herring bone purfling on the top. I also want to use a rosette based on herring bone. Since the harp guitar has two sound holes, one smaller than the other, custom bending is required. But rosette pattern design eludes me. Could someone please suggest a pattern, one that is simple but bold?

Mike

PS: I am planning on ordering the herrring bone from Allied Lutherie
