This rosette was recently shown "under construction" in another thread. After routing a channel in the Sitka spruce top...
...it was glued with CA and then sanded flush with the top and given a protective coat of shellac.
The back and sides are quartersawn Bolivian rosewood (pau ferro, morado, moradillo). It will probably get a darker binding around the top, an ebony fretboard and a Spanish cedar neck.
Still working primarily on a couple others so work on this one is on a fill-in basis as time permits but I'm anxious to push it along.
