Wow. It takes more talent than I have to do that inlay in spruce. Hats off to you! |

I really like your inlays, bindings, etc. but what impresses me the most is the shape. Your guitar is very graceful, I particularly like the nice round bottom (lower bout) with no sign of the ubiquitous flat spot. |

Your guitar is very graceful, I particularly like the nice round bottom (lower bout) with no sign of the ubiquitous flat spot. Thank you! The Shape was designed By my Mentor Tom Thiel. He took about 5 years rounding the shape so the whole instrument would have no straight lines. For the past 7 years these shapes have only been a drawing and now I have brought them to life! But of course I put my own twist on his shape! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Great looking guitar and I do like that little mountain inlay on the fretboard. |

Everything is beautiful on this one - the shape is great. How do you inlay the little white lines that form the mountains? Ed |

What I do is first cut the channel with a Dremel and then I fill it with resigns and powder pigments! I have a 1mm Dremel bit that does the job nice! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I really like the whole thing, but the rosette tops it off. May ask for some details of how you go about the interrupted rosette? There's not a lot of info out there. |

Thanks for the compliments! The way I do my rosettes is I have made my self a cheat sheet of different angles in a circle that I like and use it as a guide to mark where one segment of the rosette starts and where it ends! Here’s a photo of the circle sheet I use!  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Then I use this tool I made that hooks onto my Stewmac Dremel base and I can go right to my markings that I made with the circle guide!  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Nice job Noah! After you use the Dremel to route the channels for the rosette, do you use a chisel to achieve the corners? |

Yes I use my Veritas Mini chisel set and clean the corners up to make them nice and sharp! When routing the segmented rosette I have learned to take very small passes so you have a nice clean channel to work with! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The segmented rosette is awesome, so awesome that I expect to see a few attempts at it by the the folks here. I know that I am going to give it a try. Word is that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. B |

BTW - Your Florentine cutaway looks a little different. You chose not to bind the point. It's not as pointy as usual and actually looks like a tiny rounded treatment. How did you execute that? And do you have some closeups to get a better look at it? |
