Very nice Tony, that's how I rout my wood rosettes now for the purflings too, works great.
Can you use the other top for another rosette?

Rosette looks nice.Too bad about the top, will it be usable on another guitar?

I'm not sure but I could not "fix" the other top in a way that I would be proud of so I can't give it to the winner like that.

I've never routed a soundboard for a rosette but now I know how I'm going to do it.

Looks Great Tony!!!!

George,
My router base is very expensive. Money solves all problems. My rosettes were not perfectly tight when I used a dremel, but they are tighter than a frog's butt!
I started gluing the X-brace, but then the Inspector woke up and decided to check on my progress. He pretty much put an end to all the progress. But I did get one leg glued.

That is quite some router base. I'd love to 'visit' the vendor. Is there a web site I can go and look at? Thanks.

If I'm not mistaken, that's the Bishop Cochran base. Pricey for sure, but it looks like a nicely machined accessory.

Tony, do you have a matching onesie to go with your inspector's? Was it because he interrupted you that you glued his leg?
