I think it looks pretty nice in a lighter color than the wood.

Phew. Got the bellows out...
Bellows are OUT! by Scott --, on Flickr
It's looking great, Scott.
Yes, Looking fine. How do you get away doing this stuiff in the kitchen? I would have been thrown out by now.

Thanks, guys!
Tom, I only take progress pictures in the kitchen. Any wet work or woodworking happens in the garage. The bellows came out in the living room, but there was much cleaning to do after that - those bellows were in bad shape...
Perhaps the bellows are in "bad shape" - but they look perfect to act as a pattern.
Remember to ensure the new bellows have the same thickness when compressed.
Oh, yeah, Steven - the bellows are being shipped Monday to Wales so Sandeha can use them as a pattern. With them in hand he can figure everything to get the compression, draw, taper right.
They're super-messy, though. Drop little bits of liner and leatherette all over the place, and they're dusty as sin. Glad to get them out of here.
It's looking great! What color bellows did you decide on?
