This
wood block was carved by harpsichord maker Ted Turner from cherry from
original paper used by Ruckers family. The carving is arranged so that
it will bookmatch to the other sections, as well as appearing to bookmatch
to itself by being divided in the middle.
After
mixing waterproof block
printing ink to get the right color (I used the papers on the 1640 A.
Ruckers for a model), the ink is brayed on until there is plenty of ink,
but not so much that it fills in the fine carving for the wood grain veining.
