Making a Rosette for Classical Guitar

Making a Rosette for Classical Guitar – Great to see this video of luthier Evan Kingma making a rosette for classical guitars via his YouTube channel. Such intricate and beautiful work! Here’s what he had to say via his description:

In this video you can see the design and creation of one of my rosettes. For my Model 1 guitars, all of my rosettes are personalized for each client, and every single one is totally unique. The client for this guitar requested a rosette inspired by Japanese Gold Folding Screens and this was the design I came up with. I don’t normally put spacers in between the mosaic tiles of my rosettes, but I felt it worked quite well with the theme and the spacers here are meant to represent the seams where the screens fold up.
