I'm having a go at making a simple, basic four-course guitar. I'm not
having any success at all in making a simple inset rose but I'd rather
not leave the sound hole empty.
As well as wood, I tried something that a local art shop sells as'
parchment' but it's very difficult to use and impossible to clean up. So
far, the roses I've tried to make have either broken or split or look so
clumsy
that it would be far better to simply have have an empty sound hole.
I have David Van Edward's lute-making CD rom... but that explains how to
cut a rose directly into the soundboard itself and anyway, is far too
difficult for me at this stage.
I wouldn't know how to re-grind chisels or any kind of metal.
