I think I'm going to put a herringbone rosette on the guitar I'm working on now. I'd love to see some examples of herringnone rosettes you guys have done for some inspiration. So, if you've got them, please post some pictures.

Thanks,
Mark

Fair enough, but the technique to make them is basically one and the same

Stefan Sobell does some really beautiful herringbone type rosettes, his website is worth a look.

Here is a fine Herringbone Rosette with matching Herringbone border on aone of my 000-12 Fret guitars. The rosette and purflings were purchased from LMI.
