This is a little project I'm building for a fellow BOTL. A curved cabinet. Since I'm not tooled up for desk tops at work and I don't have room to build cabinets at home, I'm now working (did I say working? I ment having fun) in both shops. I thought you guys might like to see this project as it goes together. Please enjoy.

Seriously, it looks cool. It's kind of hard to tell on my phone. Are you using cherry for the exterior?

Thank you everyone. The wood is African Rosewood, better known as Bubinga. Here is the veneer the panels will be done in. I'm starting the curved panels today.

Didn't know Bubinga was African Rosewood! Bubinga is an excellent tone wood. Now it makes sense. It's going to look great on your humidor too.
Nice :tu

Here's one of the jigs in the vacuum bag that is used to make the bends.

Thanks guys. Here is a few pics of the bent panel and the jig used to make it. The Bubinga is book matched and almost ready to go back in the bag to be adhered to the panel. Once it comes out it will be cut to fit the frame.
