DANG, Now that's what I'm talking about. I gotta learn how to do that! I think I'm about done inlaying pre-made classical rosettes. I think I'm gonna have to go order some abalone tonight. 
Cheers! John |

Russell, these are cool. I about had a cow when I saw the black one with inlaid dots. That's amazing. I like all these wood and wood with abalone rosettes, gets my juices flowing. That last one though must be cocobolo in Red Cedar, I really like the look. Have you considered a 45 degree or 90 degree turn to the grain? Anyway, the next coco I do is getting a rosette like this, and a coco headstock. I'm savin' this pic. |

Wide, wood with bwbbwb purfling rosettes, only two I've done to date. I'll be slipping the next few down just a hair (to fit the models), but I do like this style: London Plane ('lacewood')

Nice work, Dave. That's a great design. Is that an X-Brace I see in the back? |

Here's a funky/simple one I just finished for build #3. It's just a bunch of BWB purfling on curly sycamore inset into a Lutz top. Skip

As a classical builder I usually just install a premade rosette, but now I think I'd like to make my own. Here's my first attempt. I didn't have any of the cool MOP or abalam, so I had to use what was around the shop. Does anybody recognize the wood? I know at least one guy here should... 
Cheers! John |

Wow these are great, I'm inspired thanks for asking John, and thanks for posting guys. Mayes, did your pic upload fully, I saw about an inch of the top. I'll try again, still sucking pictures through with dialup. Not cheap, Thrifty! |
