Rose

Here are some photos showing the rose hole being cut with a shop-made hole cutter. The hole did end up a bit large, but I have added a band of organ pipe metal around the edge of the rose to make up the difference.

The area between the hole and the pencil line will be tapered slightly.

The rose will need to be gilded before it is installed.



Here is Roman using the mylar plans to transfer the locations of the nuts. He and Elizabeth have begun to position them onto the wrestplank, and the 8' and 4' nuts will soon be glued in place.
