For whatever reason, Jamie was unable to get the jpg's posted at his end, so he asked if I could run them out here. This is primarily a followup on the previous thread of making cove molding. The following is all of Jamie's work!

Here's a schematic drawing of the router jig. (You Sketchup zealots
may notice another convert!)
(That's the 1st pic)
Here's a photo of a piece of furniture made with this technique. The
display cases are bow-fronts. They're four feet wide, and the front bows 4" toward the room. The drawer fronts and the door rails were shaped with this kind of jig. In fact, the door rails were shaped twice with this kind of jig -- a convex one for the front, and a concave one for the rear.
For the curious, the case exteriors are cancharana, the interiors are
curly maple, the pulls are ebony, and the feet are gold leaf on
poplar. The cases contain a collection of Mickey Mouse
memorabilia. Before you scoff, the owners told me that the market value of that collection is considerably more than the replacement value of my entire shop!
