I had a little early Father's Day gift, a few hours of guilt free time to work on my guitar building! I decided to use it to get the rosette done on a new project. This one gets a "D" shaped soundhole, and the router template is used for one half at a time, then flipped and the other half is done.
It looks like this when done.
I've wanted to do a braided copper wire for awhile and decided that this was the project to do it one. the darker area is shellac to keep the cedar from soaking up the black pigmented epoxy. It mostly worked, I had only a little bleeding of colour. Not yet sure whether I will just suck it up and live with it, or darken the soundboard to minimize its appearance. I was leaning to a darker look anyway.
Sanded smooth, it looks like this with a shellac wipe.
Detail.
