Looks great Steve. As for the voids- you can fill them if it makes you feel better but not necessary.

| Post subject: | My First Rosette |
Here is a picture of my first attempt at a rosette (J. S. Bogdanovich style). A few voids that I'll fill in as I progress with some CA + sawdust, etc. But overall, for a first attempt, I'm quite pleased. Question: Should I fill in the voids at the top where I didn't bring my strips all the way to the cut to help with structural integrity? I know they will be covered by the fretboard and will get filled in with glue, but.... Thanks |

Steve- Looks great! Did you make your own 'wheat' purfling? You don't have very big voids under the fingerboard- I wouldn't worry about them myself, if the board is going to be glued to the top. You have a transverse brace under there somewhere? Rather than 'filling' them with glue, my inclination would be to leave voids as-is or use a dab of wood filler to make up the volume, sand flat and then glue down the fingerboard. Cheers John |

Cheers John Yes, did the wheat myself. Took a while and a few attempts. It will definitely be better next time. I'm quite pleased, however, for a first attempt. The spalt is Curly Spalted Maple from the Zootman. The headstock, end-cap and tail strip will all be from the same spalt. The guitar (maple back/sides) I think will turn out nice. |

Excellent rosette! Did you make the wheat yourself? It looks great. |
