I really like the suttlel curves, and in answer to your question, I don’t think ca glue would be better because as we know tests have been done and they prove that wood glue is stronger than the wood itself. Also if you add up all of those small contact surfaces you will see that there is quite a bit of contact area.
Thanks Chad

Beautiful design and great work by the both of you : )
Any plans on making a blog about your project ?

Make it in one piece to begin with. You need a pivot and a circle cutting jig that increases in regular increments. Cut one side at least 1/2 the thickness of the stock, then flip the board over and do the other side at different angle? The results are the same thing, only in one continuous piece. You can vary the design by using different cutter heads, creating square voids, ovals, and even diamonds.

I’m doing something similar for the trays of the humidor I’m building.

There’s an article in Fine Woodworking mag sometime last year that shows the technique.

I hadn’t planned a blog but here’s the link to the jig design that I loosely followed that’s very helpful: link

These look great, thanks for sharing, imitation is the greatest form of flattery and I will for sure be making some of these up. Thanks again. Jon
