I just returned from a holiday in Britain which included visiting several towns full of Georgian architecture. I was particularly drawn to the beautiful fan lights above many of the front doors and it suddenly occured to me that these might be adapted as designs for veneered tabletops such as the ones made by Mark Arnold (FWW, issue 206, pp 88-92) and the online extra https://www.finewoodworking.com/SkillsAndTechniques/SkillsAndTechniquesArticle.aspx?id=32666
Here are three examples, but if a trip to Europe isn’t in your plans do a search of images on Google under Georgian fan lights and you’ll see plenty of examples.

I hope you went to Bath and saw that lovely crescent of Georgian houses.
Davcefai, I visited Bath 7 or 8 years ago and while it does indeed have a wealth of Georgian architecture, I think Edinburgh has a larger area in this style. On the other hand, the latter's stone tends to go dark as it ages where as Bath's sandstone retains that warm, honey colour. I wish I could afford a Georgian house in either city!
