lots done today. my back is really playing up at the minute so it was a lot of sitting jobs interspersed with a FEW standy uppy ones......

so rosette on the church pew guitar.....

I used offcuts from the rosewood zouks to make a 6 segment rosette....

cut the angles & glue it to a scrap of MDF

use a rotary cutter to cut the rosewood and the mahogany

route the slot....

and glue them in there.....

still to do is re cut the edges of the rosette and inlay a black & white stripe inside & out..

Also did the linings.....

the back went onto the dread mando......

and I got soundhole patches cut & glued onto both the zouk tops. this is a Lowden idea to support the edges of the soundhole so that there's less risk of it splitting

and the back went onto the second zouk.....
