Paul is rubbing the edges of the panel after the glue has been applied. Then this edge will be wrapped around to the back and glued down after some trimming.

To bring out the details under the leather Paul uses a dental tool to press down around the edges of the pattern. In his left hand there is a plastic dowel with pointed and round ends to rub other areas.

Paul is standing by the door panel, the first section is finished. In the original installation this door actually opened and was used to enter the boardroom.

The door panel had a handle molded into the door that was hidden by the detail in the hill area. This area had to be reinforced for heavy use.
