From previous old repairs losses in the width of the central leaf have resulted in the outer stringing and crossbanding not matching with the outer leaf profiles.Now that the loss in width has been made up the veneer can be recut so the stringing lines and tulip wood crossbanding will match up to make a perfect oval when the outer leaves are opened out.Replacement boxwood stringing and Tulip wood crossbanding is used where the original was missing.
