Hello Everyone,
I am about to start a new project (a credenza) and have a question about the doors. Just a brief description of the project. The credenza is 60"W x 35"H x 21"D. The top will be made of stone (will go to some stone shops tomorrow). In the center is a column of 5 drawers. Each drawer is 7"H x 14"W. On each side of the drawers are doors that measure 35"H x 23"W.
I've attached a photo of a scale model that I built out of balsa. I built the model to determine if ratio of drawers to doors is correct (uses the golden rectangle) and I think I'm happy with it.
The question is about the doors. Hopefully, you can tell from the photo that the face of the doors are curved. The arch from the inside door edge to the outside door edge is about 4 inches. I have a pretty good idea as to how to build the rest of the credenza but the doors are a big challenge for me.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I would like to have this figured out before I get started but it doesn't always work out that way ;-))
