We finally made it downstairs of this monster job! We switched from quarter sawn white oak to all red oak because of price and availability. He said he’s going to stain it darker than upstairs. Oh Well!
We made these tudor arches in several pieces and assembled them in the field. Install went pretty smooth except for the 10 Mexican painters that showed up to paint the ceilings. We booted them after a couple of minutes! They kept saying something about loco gringo More from the loco gringo at http://woodworkingtipsfrompop.com/

We built the sides and placed some temporary supports to help keep everything square and then we just slid them around the jamb opening
We framed the arches out of ¾” plywood and doubled up on 1/8” bending plywood for the inside of the arches and glue the heck out of the back side frame.

Now that is some beautiful work! This place looks like a king’s palace. Can’t wait to see the pictures of the finished job.

Sure classy, but simple. It appears to be a pub from the alcoves. We just had to give some electronics guys the boot on a job. They didn’t like it either. I’ve been off for a few days maybe they got their crap done.

Great craftsmanship as always Bryan. The “look” isn’t my cup-o-tea but I sure appreciate the talent that went into doing this level of woodworking.

I’m not big on the whole Tudor look either, I like the more classical roman arch, but I’ll make it as ugly as they want! Wait till you see the mantel. It’s a real Conversation piece
