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.....
