Parallel grain section of bottom complete (under the keyboard, the grain is perpendicular). All sides of cabinet complete. All belly rails and lower frame work complete. Wrest plank supports complete. (Done with dovetailing!)Next comes the wrestplank, keyboard and upper frame work. I'm redesigning the upper framework so that it isn't prone to failure like the original instrument.
This morning I went to the Museum of Fine Arts before they opened to the public to photograph the painting with flash photography.
Many thanks to Aaron Kakos and the museum!
