Using Teflon to Install a Mother Of Pearl Rosette | Guitar

In this episode of DIY Guitar Making, I discuss some design considerations for my new, florentine cutaway parlor build, Guitar #116. Then we walk through the process of cutting a rosette channel and inlaying two fiber purfling strips and a teflon "place-holder" for the Mother Of Pearl, which will be installed later.

Thanks for the video Eric. I have an abalone rosette and binding in my future. Doing a re-top on a 1956 000-18G classical Martin. It has two single black lines that are only .020 wide. I used .5 mm bits to cut them. It was a pucker fest.

I didn't notice until this video that you (at least on the guitar displayed at 2:22) that you use an X bracing on the back of the guitar, as opposed to traditional parallel bracing with a back strip as many guitars have. Is there a specific reason for this? If you have covered this previously then I am unaware.
