Premium Segmented Rosette with Red Heart ab ring.

Cutting a custom diameter circle from abalone for a rosette.



Testing its placement and size.



Here you can see the individual segments that make up the Brazilian rosewood ring. Sixteen in total, all orientated to allow the grain to flow outward, like rays of sunshine :)



Here it is dry fitted into the segmented Braz rosewood ring. Next I will add the inner and outer b/w/b purfling rings to the shell ring and level.
