Nice job Kevin. Rosette is very clean.

Thanks guys, you can't see it but the fuzz is there. I am not a perfectionist by any means, butt this kind of thing bugs me, I want to see a perfect line from these purflings. I did sand more on the rosette as I found the shell was still a bit low. It is better but still not how I'd like it. I inlaid the shell about .010" below the top just so this wouldn't happen and I could take it down without having to sand the shell. The top in this area is now at .120" so I'd rather not take it down anymore, but I might go another .005" just to see if the lines will clear up.
I looked at the close up picture of a similar rosette on the cover of the Kinkade book, and he has fuzzy lines worse than mine so I guess I could be satisfied with my turnout since he is showing the whole world his fuzz!! Ha ha.

Nice rosette. Is that a 3mm or 5mm abalone ring?

Looks good from here but we are our own worst critics sometimes.

That would be 3mm shell. Looks wider doesn't it! The purfling does wonders to make it look bolder.
