Thanks for the replies, my teacher suggested exactly what mb propsom said about just doing the rosette on the other side and because of the soundhole reinforcement piece it will be covered at not be an issue. When I cut the slot for the new inlay I won't go very deep so as not to go through to the other cut. I have ordered another rosette and the seller says its definitely solid abalone but will have a good check this time!
