Curve ideas for light bridge
Gentlemen,
I am building in a light bridge between two shelving units, above a window seat. I would like to put some decorative curves in the bottom of the light bridge instead of just a straight line. I have googled, but am only coming up with limited ideas (such as Early American on the bottom of a cabinet base). Does anyone have any ideas or know of a site with ideas? (I will post a couple of pictures on ABPW) David |

It really depends on the architecture style. A few ides a
Craftsman: 1-2 inches in flat from each edge, shallow arc (maybe 1-2 inch rise at the center. Antique: Sort of an Ogee curve up at each end about 3 inches in and 3 inches up at each end with a flat center. Victorian: Stepped feature stepping out and or up with stacked molding at the edges. Victorian Gingerbread: Brackets and fret work. Contemporary fret work: Oak rails with turned pickets I think the fret work idea or something with some holes in it would be nice to let the light play out of it a bit. |

Great ideas. I am seeing the fretwork. Sounds interesting. I will have to
investigate. Thanks, David "SonomaProducts.com" wrote in message oups.com... It really depends on the architecture style.
