I developed a small router jig/baseplate that makes the cutting of rosette channels very easy and very exact, with no ‘adjustments’ necessary. It has really up’ed my game with regards to rosettes, and makes easy the ‘asymmetric’ rosettes I have been making lately, where the top of the rosette is thin and the bottom is thick. I wrote a small article about this baseplate for GuitarMaker magazine (published by ASIA, the Association of Stringed Instrument Artisans). The article was accepted, and then they decided to use a picture of the rosette from the article as the cover of the magazine.
