[quote="Jim Ebert"]John, I was just looking for that post that shows how he makes his radial rosettes, but could not find it. Would you be so kind as to post a link to it? Thanks,

Here it is: http://www.ericschaeferguitars.com/radi ... c-pattern/

I didn't make the jig. I just drew out the radial pattern on a piece of paper and used a straight edge to mark the angles on the wood. Then fine tuned on my granite tile covered with sandpaper. Then routed out.
And Thank you.

Fantastic build log - keep those pics coming please and thank you!
Very nice work on the rosette - that's going to be a real eye-catcher.

Beautiful work! The rosette looks spectacular. Getting ready to start my first build. You set the bar high.

Yep, looking very good.

Do you find that glue bottle to be a useful thing? I could use something to help my accuracy in applying glue.
