Looks good! I am about to try something similar only the wide strip in the middle will be wood and the thinner strips on the outside will be shell. Josh |

Nice rossette Lance. I like the Combo. How do you like that Carpatian spruce so far? Been meaning to get some. |

Lance, Nice! Looks really sweet. One question, is it 3 diffrent pieces, wood, shell, wood, or is it one piece of wood with a channel for the shell? Jeff |

Thanks Guys, here are a few images on how this rosette was made.. Start with a 3 piece Red Abalone heart inlay 
Here its inlaid into a flamed maple blank, along with a b/w/b strip on either side, the deep channles are where it separates when I run it through my thickness sander. The channels are as deep as the ablone is thick. 
Here it is after having been ran through the sander, you can see how its come apart from the blank. 
Finaly, its inlaid into a channel in the top, along with another b/w/b purling.

It looks wonderful! I don’t think I can hack it without a thickness sander though. |

Thanks Lance! Pictures explain things so quickly when you are trying to learn something. Jeff |

Colby, It's still easy without a thickness sander. All you have to do is route the channels a little deeper until they go through to cut it out. I like how simple the sander is, but you shouldn't have any problems the other way either. John |

This is the same way I do my snakewood ones, I make an octagon with the snakewood and center on a piece of scrap and then route and cut out the piece before inlaying it into the top. I run it through the thickness sander to get it to release, you don't have to do that but it's easier to route these with a more solid base under them. I'm now starting to use a vaccum jig to hold my rosettes so I don't need as big of a base and can but them free from that by just going deeper.. -Paul- |

Look great Lance. Sad to say, I got your maple back the other day cause I put the wrong address on the package. I'm truly sorry (no pun intended). Well done again. Rod |

Nice Job Lance. I never thought of doing that sander release thing. Very clever. John |

Why doesn't the sander throw the rosette across the room? After you sand away the remaining wood, what is holding the rosette in place or am I missing something? |

the sander has pressure rollers that hold the whole thing down plus, I use my fingers to add pressure on the infeed and out feed. |

[QUOTE=Mike Mahar] Why doesn't the sander throw the rosette across the room? After you sand away the remaining wood, what is holding the rosette in place or am I missing something? [/QUOTE] I think that's a grand question...because, pressure rollers or no, if this were done in MY shop, that rosette would be imbedded in some wall, or crashing through a window. Lance has the touch. And, he has one fine looking rosette! Steve |
