Just a quickie update. I cut the pattern out for the motif pattern that will be one both ends of each corner posts. I was going to start the filing but decided that I wanted to make sure that I soften the metal up before I do that. Just to make sure that I didn't harden any of the posts accidentally.
The motif is in the upper right side. It is referred by horologists as a pregnant lady motif and it was common in the later parts of the middle ages. The slot on the left side is used to register the correct spot on the posts. It matches up with the mortises on the posts.
