Making a Classical Guitar Rosette, Part 1

I started building a mosaic-style classical guitar rosette and thought that it would make an interesting short series of videos. The main body of the rosette is formed by assembling a series of very thin wooden sticks in a particular pattern, then slicing them into fine tiles and joining them side by side in the empty soundboard ring that is routed out. In this case, I used sticks that were 1mm X 1mm and about 6" long. I purchased the sticks from Japarts.com, which has a wide variety of colors.

Ah, building a Rosette. The most fun design element. Can’t be too large for me. 640x480 sticks like old IBM VGA graphics sounds about right. So my question is: can you make rectangle tiles and square tiles of the same height to create a pattern design that has an alternating spacing? ie. square rectangle square rectangle.

Probably, yes.
