Here is my latest rosette. It's walnut, granadillo, maple and black stained veneer. I have a tut in the Tutorial Forum if you are interested.

Lance, I'm not going to Miami but I'll see you at Montreal. Probably won't have this one since it's a commission.

Mike, you could certainly turn the pieces around as long as you didn't taper them to fit this way first.
