ORIGINAL: M.S.A. good lord, it looks amazing, bugeyed! allthough, it could have been all just carved in from one piece, but I understand how it has been created so the idea with ornaments came later. never mind, it looks terrific anyway. it inspires me to tra such a nice soundport on my Navarro... I will perhaps make another soundhole, cause I do not have worries anymore. I have already proven for myself it doesn't reduce the quality of sound at all. unless the hole would be too large. I'm happy for you man, enjoy the sound! Thanks. As far as carving the pattern in the side, I would not want to try that on a completed guitar. The problem is that, depending on the wood, it can chip out or crumble in such a way as to ruin the work. I am sure that it is partly due to my skills, but I would not want to chance it. This was a second attempt at a rosette, the first being cut from cocobolo & it was very brittle & crumbled in a few places. I have a plan for an improved version that incorporates a ring around the scrollwork that would fit snugly into the hole & look more integrated. I will build a special mechanism for my flex shaft tool, so I can use it like a miniature shaper table, with the cutter working from the top side where I can control it better. One issue is that, to get the insert to follow the contour of the side, I have to leave it proud of the side & sand it down for match. That means that I have to refinish the side where I have sanded it flush. Not my area of expertise, but I am learning.
