Russell,
I believe if you look at Martins website they have the layout. Find the section that sells the suplies.

Sorry John

The Snowflake, I think the pattern is called, it starts with a large snowflake on the first fret. Then has little ovals and diamonds and things RussellR38551.4719675926

Brad you are right it is on Martins site, but the picture is not quite big enough for me to make out.

Thanks

Here is the layout for the D45 snowflake

Find the boards center
    All the centered inlays will be off this line. All paired inlays are then space 7/16 off the edge of the board.
   The square and cats eye are off the center with the point of the cats eye touching the square.
   Remember that if you are doing a bound board to keep the 7/16 off the finished edge
