Page 40 - Meet the Maker: Alan Carruth by Tom Harper Al says: “Sometime around ’94 or so I worked out a way to make a braid pattern rosette of side-grain elements, using plane jigs. Here’s the first one I made that had a shell background.” “A few years later I used the same technique to make little maple leaves to set as purfling on my ‘Autumn’ guitar. Here is a shot of the rosette and side.” “The original braid is large for a classical guitar, so I made up a smaller one, and then a few more jigs to make a ‘return’ that would convert it to a true interlacement. This one also has some end grain stick work elements: a vine bud and rose pattern. All the woods are natural colors.” Page 48 - Mackintosh Inspired Inlay by Kathy Wingert Page 54 - American Mandobass History 101 by Paul Ruppa
