An Inlaid Rosette



Well, there’s not all too many exciting things going on in the shop right now, so no finished products to display as of yet. Instead, I’ll share an in-between picture of a work in progress:

Inlaid Bowed Psaltery Rosette This is a Western Red Cedar top with an inlaid 10mm width rosette. This is the same top that can be seen in the post of Sharon’s Psaltery. The rosette has been assembled into my standard 5-sided shape, and inlaid and sanded flush with the soundboard. I have also done another one almost exactly like it except in a spruce top for Lois and Jerry’s psaltery. (Sorry, no pic of that one – use your imagination.) :)

This picture was taken during the brief time after the rosette has been inlaid, but before the soundhole has been cut.
