I need to trim the rosettes a bit to remove the excess epoxy.
The photo on the right shows the rosettes before coating.

Any thought of making a wood one? If you could make a study enough die, (maybe with jb weld?) you could probably make one the same way the originals were made. Maybe cut a circular piece of mahogany, soak it in water for a while, and force your die over it, maybe in a vice, and let it sit until the wood dries?
