I came across this mission style credenza, and I was wondering, how did they do the side panels? Notice they are arched. The rails and stiles – ok, fine, cut them on a band saw – but what about the panels? This is white oak, and I don’t think you can steam bend that!

Anyone have guesses?

It is not terribly diFficult to start with thicker boards and saw them to the proper curve. The unit pictured is not a real tight curve and a 6/4 blank would yield all the needed panels would be my guess. Once band sawn, they can be quickly cleaned up with planes or a belt sander. Even if the curve is not exact, it will bend into the stiles quite easily.
