Flower like rosette cutting device

A router guide apparatus for use in forming rosette designs in a work piece;

• comprising;
• a) a frame having a work surface;
• b) a wheel rotatably mounted upon the work surface, the wheel having a center of rotation and a holder for supporting the work piece;
• c) the wheel having a plurality of position stops thereon;
• d) the frame including an adjustable guide for holding and tracking a router with a cutting blade;
• e) the frame including stops for limiting movement of the router during use;
• f) the guide and stops being configured to enable the cutting blade to cut two petals of the rosette in a single pass;
• g) the wheel being affixable into multiple angular positions that are spaced circumferentially apart substantially the same angular degree measurement so that multiple cuts can be made at angular orientations that vary from a first cut by a multiple of the same angular measurement;
• and
• h) one or more inserts that are removably attachable to the combination of frame stops and guide for varying the track of the router during use relative to the frame.

A method of forming an inlaid rosette design in a work piece comprising the steps of:

• a) providing a router frame with a rotatable member thereon that supports the work piece;
• b) forming a cut in the work piece by moving the router relative to the frame;
• c) moving the rotating member and repeating step “b”;
• d) repeating steps “c” and “d” until a rosette design is formed;
• and
• e) filling the cuts with a solid material that is of a different color than the work piece.
