[/QUOTE] Mike,
Did you make the green/red/white purfling? If you did, I'm sure many here would be interested in another great thread on how to do that. If you didn't can you tell us where you got it?

I did not see how you dress the inside radius of the rose. Can you explain how to do that?
Thanks!

I dress the inside on a drum sander that closely matches the radius.
After I glue these tiles in I trim them with a router -using a trammel point set-up.

I used to make the purflings !
Now i get them from germany!
I'll give the site soon-they are out of all purflings at this time.


More on that soon -I have got to get to the shop!
