Round Rosette ?

[Rick P]

Does anyone have a pattern of a very simple round rosette?

I found one on the Forum, but it had some defects...?

I'm willing to pay for a pattern.

Have you looked at the ones here?

I attached a pic of the simple round rosette we need. It will be about 1.5 inches in diameter.

Rick is this close to what you are looking for. It is 1.5" round and .5 " deep carve.

eelamb ...

Wow, it looks right on ... I may have to carve one and take it out to the farmhouse project site to compare it to the original. Thank you.

[eelamb]

You are welcome Rick hope it is close enough.

[Rick P]

I will have to carve it in wood about 3/8 inch thick...my first carve was in 13/16" stock, which is the typical thickness of my raw stock. Then pattern looked good though.

The original is about 3/8" thick.

[eelamb]

I was not sure as the depth. Thought most were about .5", so made that one at .5" deep carve. The 3/8" should work out and carve nicely. If not let me know I will see about making the depth 3/8".

The pattern is very similar looking straight on, but the original is flatter overall. The wide area of the domed surface is flatter by about 1/8".

The overall thickness is about 1/4" at most, maybe closer to 7/32".

If you can understand my rambling and it's not too hard to make the adjustment, it would be great to take another shot at this trim piece.

[eelamb]

Ok here is another try. this one is 1.469" dia. and .25" tall. It will carve to depth of .251". Do you have an image of the side profile of the rosette, if this one is not right?

I see they changed the upload file area again.

Before anyone else says it, yes the first image looks like a flying saucer!

[Rick P]

I am doing another carve or two with some adjustments...I will let you know what happens...

Hi Rick,
It would help if you would tell us the diameter and height of each part of that rosette, starting with the outer diameter, which would be height 0". see the picture. also indicate if the section is flat, curved or sloped.

Darn! after uploading the pic, the lines don't show up... oh well, you see what I mean, I'm sure.

[eelamb]

Rick if you can give me the measurements as shown in the image attached. This will help to make the pattern a duplicate to the original.

[Rick P]

The carve I did with some adjustments came out very nice, but we won't have access to the farmhouse for a few days.
We will do a comparison to the original later this week.

I appreciate all the help !!!

[eelamb]

Tanks for the info Rick. I thought if you reduced the original pattern to the depth you wanted it would come out very close, knowing that reducing the depth would flatten the entire pattern some.

[Rick P]

eelamb -

well, I attached a pic of a drawing similar to the one you posted...I don't know if you can make the adjustments needed...??...

...the center "nipple" feature is more pronounced in the original...the other features appear to be ok.

[eelamb]

Rick, saved the image, and see if I can get it done for you tonight.

[eelamb]

Rick taking your measurements, I came up with this. Try this one, to me it does not look right, so hope it is what you want.

[Rick P]

eelamb...

You are absolutely right...it did not look right. (My Bad !!)
That's what I get for not drawing to scale.
I attached a new drawing.
The dome feature in the center should be more like half of a ball.

I would really appreciate one more shot...!!!

[eelamb]

Seems some dimensions changed *S*. Since you stated this one was to scale, I pulled in your image, traced a half profile, then used the lathe tool to make the object. Once I pulled it into designer, I reversed the dimisions (top down) and using the cursor looked at each height. they are close to the your measurements. here is the results.

[Rick P]

Thank you eelamb ... I carved the latest version and we will compare it to the original in the coming week.

[Rick P]

I attached one more picture of the original rosette.

wow someone sure buggered the wood up when they stripped it.
