A new rosette
A new moth pattern rosette. Moth pattern tile with green lines and red bars. This one will look nice under a finish.
Stephen, Keep the photos coming. It would be interesting to compare photos of the rosettes before and after application of the finish. Will help with posting and typing the blog under your supervision when I visit the shop, if you wish. Jason
Nice work, Stephen. Execution looks really clean and tight. Just curious, do you have a favorite type of spruce that you typically use on your blancas or do you select tops on a case-by-case basis? Ryan
