Possibly the most beautiful rosette I've seen.

Thanks
I appreciate that Stephan. I'm pretty sure "woody" appreciates that as well. We sweated bullets over that design.

Stephan, yes thank you for the kind words. You could say that John has a few "extra" rosettes for future builds . All of them were absolutely beautiful, but THIS one was just the right fit for this guitar. This particular rosette gets more pretty every time I look at it. I really hate to admit that I had little to do with this one and this one was ENTIRELY John. But give credit where credit is due!!

Well, here's another...uh..couple of "shots" from John. When he sent the second one to me, you might say that the proverbial "fat thumb syndrome" kicked in again and the "O" in the word "shot" was substituted with an "I" . Thank goodness I know John is a much better wood craftsman than he is at working the camera or computer lol
Here you'll see the sides together in the first shot and some Red cedar ready for the lining in the second.

Is that your fiddle as well? |

Absolutely Tom! John told me that if I built TWO guitars, I'd get a fiddle as a bonus. John is SUCH a nice AND generous person!!

Linings
Tom the linings will be solid. I laminate them up using the guitar sides as a template with packing tape on the sides to keep th linings from sticking to the sides. When set I remove the linings, shape them, sand em and then glue them to the sides. The ensemble is so stiff that from that point on I usually forget the mold. I'll take some pictures of the process and send them to woody but it's an ugly mess, lots of glue, and I don't clean up for photography, so they may not get posted.

Mike, I'm sorry to be so late to this thread...life has been very busy (good, though). However, the guitar is already gorgeous, and I love, love, love the rosette. It looks like it glows! Sinker...I really should have gone for Sinker, and while AB is different than the "typical" pairing with Macassar, you ma de a stellar choice. It should be rich, full, vibrant...everything you want in a guitar. Super happy for you and will eagerly follow along.

I too really like the rosette John made. To me, the rosette is where I "start or stop" liking most guitars...it draws me in or I move on...weird huh? I guess you could say that the rosette starts the process, then the overall design, and then the all important tone is what keeps me engaged in the "love affair". This rosette almost takes on a 3D effect for me and keeps me coming back for a second look. John deserves most of the credit for this one. I recollect that when, after multiple tries to find one, he said something to the effect of "how about I make one that I would like and see how you like it?". That was the magic phrase that generated this design.

Sorry to be late...
A fabulous guitar coming soon… What a fun feeling!
I spoke with Mr. Kinnaird yesterday. As I also have a fallen under the spell of Woody's former guitar. I enjoyed speaking with him very much! I have begun the drool inducing process of coming up with my wish list. And I am pleased to have JK's help! Everybody have a great day, and play the good ones pretty. Cheers Paul

You know your guitar is going to be great when something on the inside that will never be seen looks that beautiful!
