So I've been working on the rosette. The Rosette is a wood ring composed of a quarter inch thick walnut ring sandwiched between two 1/16 " bloodwood rings.

4 pieces of walnut cut from the back


Glued together and ready for the dremel


Bloodwood strips being soaked before bending.


I cut the ring out and started bending the strips. The strips didn't bend well and splintered in a few places. I glued the splintered areas and hopefully I'll be able to finish bending/assembling the rosette.
