I have been commissioned to base the rosette design on the one in this photo. I am considering doing something more interesting with the borders. Below you can see that I have prepared the "logs" for the mosaic section.

Hi Ethan, I just had my private guitar lesson today. I brought my new Ethan Deutsch Negra to see my teacher. When he played it, his eyes were wide open and was amazed by the sound. He congratulated me for getting this phenomenal guitar. :) I am bonding strongly with my new Ethan Deutsch Negra. Thank you very much, Ethan!!! Scott Custom rosette requested, similar to this one I made in 1998. I already had tiles for the central mosaic on hand. Now to make the red, green, white, and black half-herringbone border. Part of the beginning of the process is shown below.  Stacks of veneer--three black to one red, white, or green--are glued up, using wax paper and cauls.     Northwest Handmade Musical Instruments Exhibit at Maryhurst University in Oregon April 25-264/29/2015
The event was a success, with a large number of people attending each day. My table was visited by several people who were familiar with my work from the Internet and word of mouth and I also met and chatted with several other builders of flamenco guitars--including Robert Ruck, seen below playing one of my guitars.    If you are in Oregon April 25-26, please come see my guitars. http://www.nwmusicalinstrumentshow.org   |
