Not having a fancy specialized rosette cutter, I've been using a drill press mounted "fly" cutter. I don't have much to cut, so I just spin it by hand a couple of turns, then chisel out the inbetween.

Glue in the rosette and plane it smooth.

Detail.

The Green Ash that I am using bends so easily, just wet it, let it sit, then bend it cold using only hand pressure. Then clamp it into the form and let it dry. Once fully dry it is "set" to the bend.

I made up some brackets to mount on the solara so that the sides can be moved here, allowing me to free up the side mold for other tasks.
