Here is an interesting one.
I'll see if you can guess what this is all about.
Tub-O-Lard to the winner.
Another one - Spalted maple segmented -
with end splice to match.
Recognize the maple Terry?

Thanks James. The woods used are maple, walnut, oak, bubinga and ebony. It is the client's design. There is more to it.

It looks like the first rosette is bound in ebony. It looks real nice Steve. Good job! |

It looks like some of the tops that Bill Conklin does on bass tops. They call it melted tops. Or at least used to. |

I got a request for a lute hole cover with a mountain scene. I thought, why not try to integrate it into the rosette.

For those that want to try this, here is the process I followed. Chose the wood colors, grain orientation and apply the cut out shapes to the wood. Cut out the various shapes. Fit the pieces together with some sanding. Glue to a backer board. Cut out to size and add it to the top like a standard rosette.

Steve - Beautiful work. It is almost like intarsia. (I think that is the right spelling?) Very creative. I have a question relating to the cutting of the soundboard for the inlay. I noticed on your last picture that there is some of what looks like tearout in the cross-grain cuts on the left side. On the finished picture above they are gone. How did you fix that? Thanks! The finished rosette looks impeccable. |
