Aleger Reed Organ--Reconstructing missing decorative top









Dale is in the woodshop.
  The beginnings of the new top .  All elements in the new casework are taken from the same element found in the existing organ case.  We had no photo nor drawing of the original organ top

Gingerbread elements were taken from the front grill beneath the keyboard.

 

 

 

Here is a full view

The  mirror and the carvings are now done and a new shellac finish was applied.  A local shop made a beveled mirror the size needed.

Final pics to come soon, I hope.
