first rosette

[Kyle Barbour]

My first attempt at a rosette. Made with cut offs from the bloodwood sides and left over purfling scraps.

Very nice. I'm about to try doing one also.

That's great! Love it! Any pics of your process? How did you glue on the purfling border? I never tried doing that outside of the rosette channel on my top! Good job!

I didn't think to take pics while I was making it. I used the method you had shown using a small work board with paper glued to it. I laid out the angles for the peices sandwiched the strips between them and glue it with ca. Used the circle cutting jig to cut out the circle. Then i used tape to wrap the purfling around the rosette. I thoght I might wait to add the purfling but I may add another strip of black to the outside and inside if I don't get a tight fit. I also used my new homemade drum sander to clean it up and thickness it while on the board.

It must have been a little difficult to get the purfling on the edge! Nice job! Glad my post helped!
