My first hand-made rosette
My first hand-made rosette
Pretty stoked with this, my first hand-made rosette
The wood consists of ebonized pear wood, mahogany and Alaskan yellow cedar. The burl is a .5mm mahogany veneer on on a substrate.
The herringbone was lots of fun to make, and although I made some wheat that was supposed to run through the middle of the burl, I liked the burl so much that I decided to leave it out.
True to form I almost ruined this when I forgot to tighten the rosette cutter on one of the passes. Luckily I noticed the router bit drifting and I was able to fix it.
Cheers blokes.

That looks great!
I agree with you, leaving the center as is. Running the extra might have been overkill, whereas right now its classy

Re: My first hand-made rosette
very nice. I also like the burl ring and the cleaner look of not running the marquetry strip through the middle of the burl. It is so nicely framed by the thin dark purfling line.

Wow that looks great. I see you are following Bogdanovich. Can't wait to see the finish as I am trying to use his book/video's too. Just waiting for the moisture to equalize here in wet Tasmania.

Re: My first hand-made rosette
Congrats on a job well done & executed Wayde, nothing quite satisfying as looking at something you've crafted from your own imagination.

Really nice, cool to see such a good combination of the 'purfling' rosette with the 'inlaid pretty veneer' rosette. (for want of a better term)

Despite being a philistine electric player, that is very beautiful work.
