Finishing the soundboard






I've only worked on the harpsichord twice this summer, thanks to lab. Got the soundboard pretty much done, just need to cut a hole for the rose and glue it in.

Also glued the bottom on. I might steam it off and reglue it... not sure it fitted nicely enough. But once it's finally glued, I can add knees (an alteration to the original instrument, to prevent twisting) and route off the overhangs.

Images are in no particular order.
