I'd be glad for a French Polish demo too - I should even be able to bring along a guitar in the white to play along with.

I have a guitar (my first) that I experimented with a couple different finishes on. The top, sides, and neck came out fine, but the back looks terrible. I plan to sand the back back to the wood. I could bring it along in that state for an epoxy pore filling demo.

I also have other junker guitars (given to me by friends to practice repair on) in the shop that would be good subjects for neck resetting and/or other operations. I could sand the finish off the back of one of those as well for a finishing demo.

If I had to chose between FP or the spiral rosette I'd have to chose FP. Those are my guns, and I'm stickin' to um.

What Chris ... you don't like my rosettes? Well ... pfft (kidding, kidding ...)

I was thinking more along the lines of general applications of templates to rosette making, along with some basics, like how to manage multiple purfling lines, how to make use of empty Cuban tubes, etc.

These are copies of rosettes from a Turkish oud, which one of my client's wants in his commission. I got eight rosettes from this stack after slicing them on the bandsaw ... simple and efficient, and I have some for the next time a client wants Turkish oud rosettes. ;)

I would enjoy an OLF meeting in PA. Put me down for attending. And fortunately it's only a hour ride from Reading PA to Hegins PA.

Count me in!

It may not qualify as a formal tutorial/demo, but I'd love for someone to show me how to sharpen-burnish-use cabinet scrapers.
