In this video, I show in-depth the making of the patterned rosette that is the signature of my classical guitars. There are many ways to go about it, and sometimes I like to explore new methods.
This is a very special one: I am making it for a future romantic guitar, inspired by the work of French Luthier René Lacôte. For this reason, I have made this one remarkably detailed. It was a big challenge for me, but I am happy with the results.
The rosette combines Sycamore veneers of different colours in a unique side-grain pattern. It is for my guitar #12, 'Celox', over a Swiss Moon Spruce Soundboard.

Incredible work. Thank you for sharing.

I admire your nerve cutting the main rosette channel with hand tools. I also appreciate this rosette for its vague similarity to the ones that came before it. I liken it to a variation on a theme. For me it’s definitely become your signature. Well done.

Great video. I build Lacotes and Stauffers as well. Could you share the name of the gramil tool that your are using and where you purchased it? I have a number of gramils. This one is pretty cool!
