Raised Panel Curved Cabinet Doors
I'd like to steam bend some solid cherry panels, approximately 23"H X
30"W, the bend/arc to be perpendicular to the grain and the complete curve to be 90 degrees.... for making 2 curved cabinet doors at the corner of the cabinet. I suspect this sort of bending may not be sucessful. Has anyone tried this and what may be the best technique, in anything special? Actually, I suspect steaming is not the way to go. I suppose my alternative is to glue up and laminate the stock, to make the rough curve and thicker stock (along the seams), then carve/sand down to the appropriate curve/contour. I think I need to be successful with the curve/bend aspect of the panel, first, before I can address the raised panel aspect. I've never attempted curved doors, so I don't know if either of these approaches is best/appropriate. Any assistance would be appreciated. I've checked out these 2 sites, so for, but I think I need more "schooling" for my particular doors. http://www.miterclamp.com/radius/pag...photoessay.htm http://www.woodweb.com/knowledge_bas...net_doors.html Sonny |
