You missed one of the most interesting and important thing - turning square-section rods to trapezium one :) In general, those angle is something that drives me crazy as usual mosaic is rectangle and there's either picture distortion or extremely complicated glueing process... Nevertheless, thanks for video. Really stylish and clean rosette, modern and simple.
I use a sander to make the appropriate angle. In my design the angle doesn't really impact the overall aesthetic of the rosette, but that might be the case in other designs, particularly if you like bigger motifs. Knowing the size of the piece you can calculate how many pieces you will need, and thus how much angle to apply. I split the angle in two and sand it in both ends of the rectangle, but I know some folks like to make it all in one side and leave the other side square. Set a bevel gauge with the angle desired to check your piece and that's it! Thank you for the comment!
Thank you! Cheers! This particular one come about when I was failing to copy a design from an ancient art book. It developed from there. I studied and worked with indigenous peoples for several years and they frequently use similar patterns, so I was also inspired by them.
In short, because I like it so. The router is loud and makes a lot of dust. Also, to prolong the life of the bit. In the end, I build these guitars as much for myself as for my clients. So I enjoy the process.
That was fascinating, lovely design
Thank you! Glad that you liked it!
Excellent videos! God job. Thanks for sharing this! 👏
My pleasure!

Thank you for the comment!
I made a short video on how to do exactly this, check it out:

Great video! I want try this with ebony and mother of pearl
Thanks! Go ahead and show me the results when you have them! Cheers
Beautiful! How did you come up with this design?

Ma per quale motivo scavi a mano quando hai la fresa? Un giro ed è fatto lo scasso con la massima precisione🤷♀️
