I think it must be a time intensive project. Getting all those joints that tight is a challenge for square pieces, not to mention curvy ones like this. And I thought I was patient! Larry, this is awesome!! Please tell us how you created it!!

Thanking you all from the bottom of my wood pile. I am definitely amazed at the reaction to this post,
nearly 500 views and 30 odd comments in less than 24 hours and heaps of requests for a blog?
I have some pics of the way that I done did IT and will endeavor to put in words that I can understand the procedure I followed. If you understood that then we will get along just fine \LOL/

of course the pieces are going to have to be turned off center or somesuch for this great Alice in Wonderland esque board. Love it.

I’m not even going to attempt to wrap my brain around the milling and joinery.
