I love wooden rosettes like this and the theme of the Koad is a really nice touch.

Looks great Hesh! Where did you get that killer set of KOA? I love that grain pattern.

Rosette looks really great, Hesh, do you cut that out with the dremel?

The top looks great, too. It looks like your wider grain is at the center and they get tighter moving out toward the edges of the top. Is it an illusion? I've been putting the tighter grain in the center.

That looks excellent Bud.

Hey, you making an OM, looks like it from the back cutout?? This will be one nice guitar, as usual

Hesh, glad you're working again. I hope this means that you feel better?
Great looking stuff, amigo. I especially like the thin b/w/b!

[QUOTE=Hesh1956]   I think that it started with Joe Nameth who was the first to wear white shoes in pro football. [/QUOTE]

Well, yeah, that would be sort of hard to get over. In our wedding photos (way back in '76) my Dad is proudly wearing shiny white shoes...with an otherwise fine-looking suit. What were we thinking back then?
Anyway, in such small doses like your purfling, white isn't quite so garrish; and in fact looks totally appropriate. Now if you bind that guitar with white, we'll all be thinking Joe Namath.

Good news on the medical front!

Hesh, looking very nice.

Are the purfling lines 0.01" b/0.01" w/0.01" b?

That's one beautiful and tasteful rosette, Hesh! All the wood colors for the whole guitar seem just right for each other.

I, too, am glad to read that you're feeling better. Just more proof that second opinions are a good thing.

The Alien abides.

Hey Hesh, glad you are feeling like making dust again. Can you give just a newbies run down on how you did this rosette. Did you rout the whole channel at one time then fit the pieces? Did you cut the whole rosette out of one piece of koa or book match scraps or what? I have only done rosettes with purf lines so far but am planning on the wood type next. Any tips are appreciated.

That looks fantastic bro!

The matching rosette and b&s should tie in beautifully!
