Installing the Rosette


Since I didn't have all of the clamps I needed to get started gluing the end and heel blocks to the sides right off the bat I skipped ahead a little bit to installing the rosette around the sound hole. The dry fitting when clean and smooth and I had a perfect seem for the inner circle but as soon as the glue went down all hell broke loose. The first 2 rings glued down fine, but the center, most visible ring, broke on me twice. I didn't think that I'd be able to just stop since I already had the glue in the channels, so I ran with with. All and all I'm happy with it, but there are 2 more, more noticeable seems that will catch a wandering eye.
