Re: rosettes
when I do a wood rosette , while it may need some filling one the top is sealed and you see serious pores you can drop fill with some finish.

Re: rosettes
I assume it depends on what the rosette is made of. If it's got, say, black walnut in it, maybe so. If it's holly...no so much.
Don't believe everything you know.

Re: rosettes
I use a lot of rosettes made from East Indian Rosewood (to match headstock) and abalone. I pore fill them. So I think it does depend on what you're using and the look you want.

Re: rosettes
I fill all rosettes. I find it easier than drop filling afterwards. I use a clear polyester for a pore filler though....
You never know what you are capable of until you actually try....

Re: rosettes
I decided to pore fill the rosette. I used Aqua Coat which worked great. Thanks everyone for your input.
