Despite the rossete seems somehow as if "unfinished" to me i must admit that you're skillful regarding your age, good luck with your first "commercial" guitar. i didn't have the courage to start my first guitar (nor did i have time for it) and i little envy your enthusiasm. i'll be checking your process. you'll surely get better and better

Brian,
Did I see this guitar? I don't remember that rosette at all. It is looking good! Clearly my advice is working! LOL Keep the pics coming.

Maybe you just put them there for the photo but you are scaring me with those chisels on the top, especially with the cutting edge down!

I do like the creativity of that rosette. Your work is getting much cleaner these days. Me like!
