Anyone know how to make an elliptical rosette like you might see on a
Gibson A2 mandolin?

I do mine with a template collar set on a plunge router. One pattern cuts
both the recess and the inlay. I happen to have my rosettes go all the way to
the edge of the soundhole, but it's not necessary.

Jay,

Good thread. I'll be watching. Might want to try it myself. I'd guess Chas' router template will be the way to go. Good Luck.

Chas,

That's a good looking rosette. What kind of wood is it?
