   Here is some construction information. The curved doors were vacuum pressed as one piece from six layers of 1/8 inch bending plywood. Then the door was inverted onto another form, cut lengthwise on the table saw, then edged on inside with 1/16 thick solid wood, then veneered, then edged on the outer edges. To guide the Dremel router with router base for the inlay on these convex/concave doors, I clamped 3/8 inch bending ply to the doors. To align the doors perfectly together, the doors were hinged to ¼ inch thick wood strips, and then these wood strips were adjusted in and out before being attached to the cabinet frame, then trimmed to width. Ruhlmann’s cabinet has the same strips, and his shop probably used the same unusual door alignment technique.

   A beautiful piece of work and technically demanding and I applaud you! Ruhlmann has long been a favourite of mine and he set many a challenge to his team of makers when they protested at not knowing how to make his designs, he said " find a way!" He also wrote that he made a 25% loss on each piece that left the workshop - I hope you didn't.

   Excellent. If there's a link to your website on this page I didn't find it, but did find it on your member page. I'm glad I didn't miss it; more beautiful work. You certainly aren't afraid of a challenge. http://bodnerfurniture.com

   A wonderful design. A lot of furniture calls for attention as if it is needy. Other furniture just sits like a lump. But this one seems self-possessed, confident of its own worth.
