The New Wood
The Cleaned and routed new wood
You can see that the new wood is well glued. I took this photo to show that there ":looks" like a void, actully it is a slight chip in the maple core.

Same comment as the photo above. I took carefull measurments to be sure there was not a deformity in the new wood. Again, it is actually a missing piece from the maple part of the rim..

I was mostly interested in showing the fabric here that Steinway used underneath the veneer. I did remove it before applying the new veneer.
