Rosette

Glued in pieces of Claro Walnut and purflings.  After the pieces are inset, I routed 3/64" channel around the Walnut segments and inlaid a long piece of purfling of 0.040 BWB.  That way any imperfections at the inside or outside edges of the segments are routed off for the purflings.

Short open time white glue from LMI

The finished rosette and soundhole routed out with the same fixture that made the channel

Pretty good looking.  Once finish goes on top the grain should pop nicely.  The wierd part at the top is covered by the fretboard.  So, I stick in a filler piece just to lock the others in place while I am working on the assembly.
