The whole process of building a rosette for a tenor ukulele. The soundboard is Hawaiian koa, the rosette is ebony and New Zealand Paua abalone.

Thanks for sharing your process. How thick are the pieces of the rosette, prior to sanding them flush? How deep do you cut your recess?

@@red58impala This koa soundboard is 1.8mm thick, the channel for the rosette is 0.9 mm deep (1/2 the thickness). The rosette ebony pieces and the abalone start out 1 mm thick.

Thanks for sharing. You laid a ring of ebony into your template but when laying it into the soundboard you added the abalone pieces in between. How does this fit within the same diameter?

Thanks for your question . . . You will notice about 4:27 into the video that I take each small ebony piece and mark off the thickness of the abalone (2mm) and then trim it and the disk sander. Sorry that the video doesn’t show that better.
