I made bracing materials. First photo shows a cross section of my X-bracing. I always shave out top braces as concave. This shaving requires extremely long time. This extra effort might contributes very tiny part of sound quality; however, very tiny differences pit together makes excellent tonal quality. That is why a properly built hand made guitar creates excellent tone.
2nd photo is for the X-brace installing sequence using the vacuum clump system. This technique enables a void free glue joint. The last photo is for the completed Rosetta. I installed a Hawaiian Koa inner ring to make a lovely flamed border. Inner ring also seals well for moisture penetration into the top wood.
