Short post today, just to keep things moving
I am working on the spruce top for the bubinga dreadnaught. Still trying to get the hang of routing the rosettes without tearing up the wood. I have used a full size router for many projects in the past, but this small dremel inlay routing takes a little more patience. Here I am using the Stew-Mac circle cutting set up. Main thing is to make certain everything is set properly and tightened. This Sitka spruce top is going to have a triple ring similar to the martin D-28 style
Below gluing the main cross braces to the top after installing the rosette and cutting the soundhole out. The spruce braces are approximately 1/4" x 1" at this point. They will be worked down and scalloped for this guitar. The tape is holding a piece of cardboard on the face to protect it while it is being worked on.
