Hello all, For those of you who buy your steel string rosettes premade where do you get them? LMI and Stewmac seem to have a limited selection. Thanks! Graham |

Or you could make your own out of veneer strips.... This one is strips of maple, walnut, and cherry. You could also use black and white fiber for the lines... 1 pack of veneer has enough material for a zillion rosettes... Good luck |

Other than buying the pearl strips, .. most SS rosettes are shop made by the builder .. get some veneer strips, or cut a ring of wood and have a go. the overwhelming majority of SS rosettes you see on this forum and hand made ... As for classical style mosaics .. I have no patience to make those !!!! |

Hey Guys, Thanks for the advise. I think I'm to lazy and time pressed to make my own at the moment, but this place www.dukeluthier.com looks to have what I want. Graham |

Who is a good supplier of veneer that is thick enough and can be used for rosettes of possibly purfling? |

LMI has nice veneer, but I have bought some from Constantines, and have had pretty good luck with it. Others have bought from Veneer Suppliers. |
