Very nice Les, I had a panel glued up to make a door with, and i noticed last night that it had a bow in it similar to these, I may have to change my cabinet front to a bow front. Very good build

Very nice indeed.

Les,

We are not worthy! This going to be beautiful. I can safely say that after looking through your projects you have to one of the most versatile craftsman that I have seen when it comes to the styles that you work in. Each style has its own set of challenges and you seem to be doing this effortlessly (even though we all know how much effort it takes). It all blows me away.

Very beautiful design. I like how you broke up the busy pattern of the Zebrawood with the Wenge. Thank you for sharing.

You’ve got the governors approval.

Excellent job and a very nice design. I am curious as to the hinge you are using on the door. Inset european, what is the opening degree? I will be starting a bow front vanity in the next couple of weeks, but was looking at sos or knife hinges. I would much rather use the blums I am comfortable with. Will the toe kick have a bow as well?

Absolutely beautiful!

Gorgeous work, I’m looking forward to seeing the final pieces

You’ve got to be one of the top 10 most talented and versatile woodworkers on this sight, but that’s just my opinion, I’m sure many rank you higher : ) thanks again for showing us what to aspire to.

That’s a really unified design – the way the interest of the vertical patterns is offset with the interest of the curved forms and the wenge—just a very cool piece ! I can’t wait to see the whole thing put together!

Thanks, Lee!

LES! I was wondering where you’d been haven’t seen anything from you for a while. Hey, I need the inspiration what can I say…LOL. Another fantastic project can’t wait to see it finished…please post when you get there. Looking great.

Absolutely great.

Great looking project. Did you use coopering techiniques for the curved doors or laminations?

Thanks every body for your comments, I’ll post it again later when its all done and installed.

ehett I used 30 degree blum hinges with an overlay, for this application. The toe kick will have bow as well.

critterman Been working, working, working seven days a week. Headed out to my shop here at home again after I get a little supper to edge more doors.

GaryK Bagged the doors, they have a center core of two pieces of 3/8’s bender board(widebelted to 1/4 thick) and outter skins of 1/8 bending birch on each side. I bagged the veneer to the 1/8 bending birch first and then bagged the doors. I bagged them in two half panels and then cut them up keeping the veneer matched and ripped off the top to make the top rail panel and glued it together, then ripped off the the two side stiles.

Thanks again to everyone!!

How did I miss this one! Love it, and it would go sooo well with my Whisky table :)

Great work, Les. Did you bleach the zebrawood? I look forward to seeing the completed piece!

Charlie, No bleach, it was finished clear. That project is getting close to being done. I’ll be getting some pictures of it installed very soon.

Thanks!
