Oscar Schmidt Stella Style Rosette
Hi Folks,
Finally got some time in the shop, and was working on my take on an 1920's Oscar Schmidt Stella guitar. Working on the rosette, which i actually styled after my 1925 Joseph Neptune Grand Concert guitar made by 1 of the NYC Italian Luthiers. Guitar has "stripes" Red spruce top, White Oak B&S
My rosette jig - I can get very fine with this: Did inner and outer rings first:

Looks like it is going to turn into a great looking guitar.

Here is a close-up.
This one a bit blurry, but gives an idea.

That is a nice rosette did you make it from scratch? Looks difficult.

Re: Oscar Schmidt Stella Style Rosette
Thanks guys!
Randy, I had Gurian make me the purfling based off my 1925 Joseph Neptune Grand Concert guitar. Hans Bentrup has a nice tutorial on his website on how to make these kinds of Purflings, but I barely get time to build, let alone make the purfs. I had them make it in 2 parts. The Bl-White "dental" molding is separate. Then the rope binding. So 3 pieces in all, dental-rope-dental.
