I just finished this one...Braz. with paua abalone. I liked Steve Kinnaireds rosette so much I asked his permission to do a similar one.The next one I think I'll use teflon strips or maybe CA. This was a little difficult using titebond. Thanks Steve !

Dave, I personally think that the abalone looks a whole lot better than teflon strips would 
Nice rosette! |

Looks very nice Dave! Where are you getting your paua strips cut so thinly or are you hand cutting them? They look very nice. |

Dave! You made it look easy! Well done, and *ahem* quite attractive. Now, you know you need to use the same abalone treatment around the top to match that pretty rosette. Right?

Well, I was thinkin' about that Steve,But I think I'm going to use a strip of matching rw. for the top purf.this time. Thanks for the kind words but your rosettes are far,far prettier than this one IMHO.

Dave, nice job! I attempt to plagarize Steve's work all the time -- looks like you succeeded! |

Dave, re reading my post I think I may have offended you and I owe you an apology. Another example of why I wish we still had our EDIT button. I was trying to pay you a compliment -- I try to plagariarze Steve's work all the time  -- looks like you succeeded.  
My sincerest apologies 
Can I have my EDIT button back, pretty please! |

Actually, Dave, the more I study your pic, the more I think you need to enlarge the sound hole.

Really Steve ? I was going to use a sound port on the side. I thought that would be enough! I'm not really a fan of those enlarged sound holes. But then again ,it would be hard to see my label!

[QUOTE=DaveAndy] I'm not really a fan of those enlarged sound holes. [/QUOTE] Yeah, I hear ya Dave. Those big gaping maws DO let in a lot of dust and who knows what else. But on a design note, if you stay with the 1/4" sound hole, in the future scale your rings down to 1/2" inner diameter....

SK[/QUOTE] No, don't. That would be the perfect place to add your logo. I mean, it does give you more room than the peghead does. You might even want to plug the sound hole as part of the design. Your call if I'm serious or not.
