Could someone explain where does this name "oil board" comes from. I've been
in the business for many years and this was the first time I heard of it.
I've seen backrail cloth glued on both sides with the lump in the middle,
but How do we change the oil? :-)
 
Just wondering.

I don¹t use the oil board.  I establish the thickness with two pieces of
felt, the main piece on which the keys rest and an underfelt of varying
thickness just as in the original.  It¹s the combined thickness that matters
I don¹t necessarily try and duplicate the original thickness of one or the
other.  The liner felt is also glued only along the front edge.  Can¹t speak
for Ed.
