Wow Tony, you guys didn’t hold back on the wood. Beautiful!!! Both the wood and your generosity. Very kind of you to think of those who suffered such a horrendous hammering at the hands of Mother Nature.

I got some work done....
Blocks being glued:
Cutting the side profile for the wedge:
Making the rosette:
I used the cut offs from the back and sides, pieces of a tree blown down by Hurricane Sandy, and some spalted maple to round it out. It turned out OK in my opinion.
Thanks for looking!

Thanks Kevin! I like the wood rosettes and they give me a chance to use up some scrap.

I managed to route the rosette channel WAY too wide, so I had to pick a new top, join, thin, and then route for and install the rosette. I install the rosette, then use a .0625" router bit to route the rebates for the purfling. By doing it this way, I can make a little bit of an error on the main channel and still wind up with super tight channels for the purfling lines. Here are some pics:
This is going to be a wedge OM, so I had to "drive the bus" a bit. The back edge is now ready for linings.
Thanks for looking!
