I can only Imagine what this is going to look like when it's done considering I've seen your other work..
What kind of wood are you going to be using and whats the wood in the pictures?

I'll be using 1/4 sawn Bubinga for the rails and styles that you see here and Waterfall Bubinga for the panels. There will be some Ebony accents as well.

Ahh, the nice hard expensive stuff... I like it. Waterfall Bubinga is a very nice wood and you better have your blades and bits sharp.  |

Looks good Bill! Did you bend the curves or cut them from a solid blank?

I did it with laminations in a vacuum bag. here are some pics. I cut the 8/4 Bubinga with the TS-75 to a width that would fit in the bandsaw. Then I cut it to 3/16th" laminations and drum sandes them to 1/8th". Next they were glued up and put in the vacuum bag over the jig I had made.    |

Bill, I'm just curious...why did you use a drum sander to get them to final thickness instead of a planer? Gorgeous work btw  Nick |

I used the drum sander for 2 reasons. 1-my planer is 220v and is not wired yet. 2- I only needed to take off 1/16th of an inch plus the sanded surface makes for good adhesion of the glue. |

I thought I'd add a picture of the jig before the bender board was put over the structure. If you have ever tried bending in a vacuum, you know it's a powerful thing. A vacuum bag can crush a form if you don't build it strong. Here's the form from the inside.  |
