>Cutting that many kerfs can get very boring!<

The curved panels are made from two layers of 1/4” pre-kerfed mdf panels. I first vacuum press the veneer on one layer laid out flat, then sand the veneer. The second layer is then glued to the first on a curved jig. ( again in the vacuum press )

Because of size restrictions, both with the pre-kerfed panels and the vacuum press, Each panel had to consist of two parts. I show how I glued them together on the same curved jig that I used in the press.

The panels could only be a total of 1/2” thick because of ductwork at the job-site.

>How did you make the curved trim?<

I will try to post some pics.

Thanks for all of the nice comments :)

I tend to agree with you about the yew but would reserve judgment until I see the finished product. To me it simply doesn’t go well with the panel frame.

Thanks for the post.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Marshall, this is amazing, your trim work is excellent. Yew???? I won’t say anything until you show us them finished, I think then it will look really good. Keep us posted, this is a fantastic project to watch come together. Thanks so very much for sharing.
