These doors aren't really coopered, they're just curved. We started out with three pieces of 8/4 African Mahogany to allow for the arc. We then used this hand built jig to cut the arc. After a lot of figuring and a lot of time and a little bit of sanding they matched up flawlessly with the bathroom vanity built for the Glenwild home in Park City. This is just one of Leslie's many designs at work here at Deep Creek.
I like this cabinet so much I think I'll just take it home for myself. Here are the doors. Almost done, just a few drawers, stain, and finish and this one's ready to go.
The hardest part of my job is watching things I build leave the shop. I imagine that wood isn't much different. The cabinet is muy gorgeous. I dig the curves and the legs. Hot.
ReplyDeleteJon, im sure there is much more tedious work in a frame. And, you cant ride a vanity.
