You could save a bit of cash buying those rosettes at Lee Valley
BTW, Martin usually installs those pointing clockwise but maybe your camera flipped the image or I'm reading it upside down?

I was not aware that it was supposed to be clockwise. Even more reason to do it over! I'm locking up the palm sander.
Anyway, I still have the pilot hole in the work board and centered in the sound hole. The middle ring was a little tight and the cut too shallow anyway so reasons #2 and 3 to do it over!
PS: thanks for the idea about Lee Valley. Are those prices in Canadian $? I'm in the US and the only US store I see is in Reno, NV. The next closest one to me is in Niagara Falls. I live less than 2 hours from Stewmac in Athens, OH. I could go AWOL for an afternoon and save myself the shipping fee!
