Description

Fold-able lapboard. The lapboard has four panels, hinged together down the middle, with dark stained bread-board outside ends. When open the corners are all rounded. The bottom two panels are cut to form a convex cut-out, for a body, when opened. These two panels have been carved so there is an integral ruler across with quarter-inch increments. The rule is stained darker than the rest of the panels. At the center edge of the bottom right panel is a brass hand-hold 4 5/16" long. Darker stain on back of lapboard than the work surface.
