I'll try. Meanwhile, I just got done cutting and chiseling off 
the back edge of the stretcher, where it overhung the plate. 
It's one of those cute things that can be done when the outer 
rim is added after the inner is strung. They obviously weren't 
concerned about future rebuilding. In any case, the overhang 
is gone, and I can now pull the plate. The piano will be 
refinished Ebony, so that black walnut spreader will look just 
fine with a cover strip added later.

Been a long time since I cut walnut. I'd forgotten how toxic 
the stuff is. Yuck!
