I want to make rosette from solid wood

Guys I tried to make a part of a rosette from veneers but I was not able to do it properly so I want to make simpler one of solid wood that has simple design and construction.
any suggestions?!!

Ok there are several ways you can do this.

How solid do you want the rosette to be? Do you want it to be made of entirely one piece of wood or would smaller wedges of wod work for you?

What tools do you have to do this? Some form of circle cutter would be ideal

Maybe this series of videos will help you, it's from our very own estebananasan. It blew my mind when I first saw it.

Thanks Lenny. I have gotten complaints about some of the music we used, so if you can't hear me talking just ask me a question.

Juan the Bomb made the videos and did the editing. I think that was his frst video making effort. He did a fantastic job.

Preferably a router with a circle cutter base. The base is relatively easy to make.

I would probably do it like this. Route a round channel using your circle cutter into the sound board just a little wider that the blocks of wood you want to use. Then glue your blocks in in the order you want. The edges don't need to line up and in fact should be larger than the finished size of the wooden ring you want. Then once the glue has dried, use a smaller router bit the same size as the banding you want to use on the out side and trim either side of your blocks to form a circle then glue you bandings in, cut them flush and your done!

If you only want wooden blocks and no banding then you will have make the the wooden ring in a scrap piece of wood and inlay it into the soundboard after.
