Which rosette do you like for your next guitar? I make my rosettes one at a time in a channel and then later install them in the top. My first attempts at installing rosettes directly resulted in considerable warping of the top and a few disasters as the wood swelled because of the moisture from the glue. These days things go quite smoothly. Bone makes a nice change from all wood rosettes and using shapes of solid wood is also a different technique. You can’t see it here but because the diamond shapes are not end grain they are very bright and shiny. I don’t often use coloured wood in my guitars but here you can see a green which contrasts with the natural red in the mosaic.
