Does anybody here make their own rosette tiles? I am working on a batch right now and am wondering how you thickness the logs to make the correct circle diameter? I believe I need to make the top of the veneer strip .025" and the bottom of the strip .023". If I leave the tiles the same, it will just be a bunch of squares which won't wrap properly around the sound hole. How do you take a veneer strip approx. 6" long and 1/8 wide, and thickness it down to those measurements? Any help would be greatly appreciated! John P.S. I can post pics if you're not following what I'm trying to do. |

Make all of your squares perfectly square, then take a little sandpaper and sand the edges so it will fit. |

Hmm, do you mean glue the entire logs together for the final design, and then sand the edges, or sand the veneer edges before I glue the final log? Thanks for the e-mail BTW about the FP class. I don't get to Indiana and close on our house in Lafayette until 1 Aug, so am not sure if I will be able to make it for the Aug class. Please keep me on your e-mail list when you get new course dates. That's one course I will definitly take, hopefully sooner than later. Cheers! John |

I sand the final mosaic tiles, rather, each repeated section, I sand the edge to the angle that will allow the larger tiles to fit around. It takes some time, but, is well worth it. No problem about the class. I might be able to move the class depending on my scheduele. Let me know when you can make it into town, and I will also be offering it next year, so, there are many oppertunities. |
