Let's see your rosettes and end wedges that you are MOST PROUD of. But let's make it really interesting and say that you cannot have use a CNC for any part of the work. Show off your true handy work!

Oh yeah, and the more unusual, the better....

Waddy, your latest purfling scheme is just great. I will shamelessly copy it without even asking permission (cause I've seen it on a Romanillos too :D )

I think that's because some of us steel string guys use some "store bought stuff" in our rosettes...
Good lookin' rosettes though!

My oldest son at the time was 4. He was outside the shop playing with a silver maple branch. He came inside the shop and gave it to me, he said " daddy, you can make a guitar with my stick". So I did. I sliced it up on the bias, and did a ring. I made a small camping guitar with it. It might not be the most elegant, but it's the most special one to me. Jason
