One vote for Rosette. Just trim your binding carefully and you'd see bugger all of the join if any. :wink:

Tim, what about putting a bit of inlay in all for cardinals? That would cover up the join and not look like its a cover up.

I'm with Nick; even a simple rosette is worth it. Maybe pre-make a rosette and inlay it? I think segments allow a bit more latitude in the joinery as opposed to lines like BWBWB.
