LA TOUCHE FINALE D’UN FABRICANT DE GUITARE
Un reportage photo du procédé unique de réalisation de rosettes pour guitare

Par Jan Kuijt

Ayacucho - David Loayza fabrique de magnifiques guitares de très bonne qualité.Chaque guitare est unique et pour donner sa particularité à chacune, David leur donne une touche particulière grâce aux motifs des rosettes.
J’ai suivi tout le procédé de réalisation de ces rosettes….

Everything starts from sketch
The different slices of wood are bundled together
They are being boiled in paint for
2 till 3 hours
By taking a scratch you can check if the colour is right
       
Under the paint bath the fire is regulated
with three tins filled with wood pulve.
The different slices of wood become more flexible with the paint seeping in
Here you see the boiling paint
     
The colour is getting more clear
After the boiling the wood hangs out to dry
When the wood is dry it is divided into smaller parts
     
All the different colors
Now the wood is being glued and pressed to combine for every different stroke of the motive.
All together now
     
When it’s dry, the pressure is released
Here the parts are divided in
small strokes
Detail of making the small
strokes
The small strokes form in groups there motive
       
One group
Combined small strokes showing

The small strokes are glued and ready for cutting
