Still don't know what I am going to use for the other two necks. Really not many choices on places to get wood in town (one). Even less to choose from as far as the rosette is concerned unless I want to spend some real money. Best I could find today is a piece of purpleheart. Sliced some of it up and with luck it will not look too bad, if it does too bad. No looking back.

Rather than try to whittle it down to shape I used my jig for cutting the rosette channel to cut a piece of plywood with the same outside diameter as the inside of the rosette. I duct taped a piece of sandpaper to it and it does a nice job of the inside radius. I am a little concerned about leveling the rosette, a big difference in hardness between the purpleheart and the cedar.
