This is backside.

Thanks Jeff for the excellent photos. A couple of questions - what is the material on the backside & does it just sit on top of the leather (no edge treatment)?

It is a PE type panel and yes sits on top.
Originals were different.

The originals are more like a melamine pressboard which curls and degrades.
The PE is lasting and replication.

Thanks x2 Jeff

Been working on things unseen clearing brakes from wheels etc. A few additions via Mike Kraus will help as this frame was missing a few things. BTW Mike can also fabricate a frame. He has really done a great job making frame plans, attention to detail second to none.
THANKS MIKE!

Collecting parts on the side.
