Here I have laid out the center shield and all the associated carvings.
Here I have these carvings laid out on a temporary panel to test the fit of all
carvings and framework. While this stage of the work
is being done. The murals are in the process of being painted by Mary Ellen Walker,
Norma Graham and Jo Ann Hendricks.
In this photo I am painting the framework for the rounding board. Note the light socket bases
were also carved to replicate the old style bases that are no longer available.
This is another view of the framework of the rounding board with light sockets and bases attached.
Here the light socket bases have been painted.
In this photo you can see that I have attached the large carvings to the top frame and am about to
attach it to the rounding board. This is part of another test assembly to assure that everything
goes together as it should before actually mounting it on the wall. Better to find problems now than
when you are 16 feet off the ground!
The top frame is attached and everything fits as it should. Now I just need to add the torches to
the top of each of the four posts and the leaf carvings to the base of the frame.
Here everything is together except the torches. Jerry Reinhardt is in the process of painting the torches
which will be the last pieces to be painted.
You have viewed the 3rd. page in the progress of the completion of the rounding
board. There are 3 more pages to go. If you would like to see the next page click
