Stu, eight guitars in and I've not done a traditional rosette. I have experience with various drawing program from the simple to complex CAD. Thinking any can be a useful tool but once you start gluing the wood together your outcome will little resemble what you made up on a computer screen. That being said I'm a big fan of sketching, making quick mock ups, and many other various quick and easy ways to save time and to get a better picture of some final scheme. Like so many aspects of luthery we have to build, then adjust our tool or system, build another, adjust, build, adjust... it's part of the process and if it was easy everyone would be doing it. Couple years ago I was in a music store and the had a handful of classicals hanging from this rotating rack in the middle if the floor. I was looking at them and the stunning level of perfection. They had a mat finish so no thick layer of polly to hide the seams. Even inside perfect glue free joints... I ask the shop owner and he said China and that all the parts are CNC formed. Now this was just before I started building my first... I don't aspire to that kind of perfection but I have an idea. About three guitars in I realized I needed to wear my glasses all the time and I have to laugh a little at some of the gaps here and there in my woodwork. Not exactly sure were I was going with this but perhaps this: that we need set a standard as we build but also to challenge ourselves to build better and better with each attempt, use the tools that unable success, don't get lost in details we have little control of, and relish the process. Looking forward to seeing your ideas and progress. HR

I prefer my flamenco guitar spicy, doesn't have to be fast, should have some meat on the bones, can be raw or well done, as long as it doesn't sound like it's turning green on an elevator floor. www.instagram.com/threeriversguitars
