    That is great. Can you post a picture of the inside of the drawer to show the lamination and veneer?

    Did you apply the veneer before bending or after? I would think after the bending to prevent possible damage, but before would seem to be easier.

    Beautiful work!

    How did you put flat (?) hardware on a curved surface?

    Learn by mistakes - I veneered before bending, and I had bad bleed through the commercial veneer. I tried to sand it out but the veneer was too thin. I ended up hammer veneering ( with hide glue ) another veneer over the first veneer - what a pain! It is recommended that you veneer after you bend.

    Thanks Andrew! I got the hardware from Ball & Ball and they are stamped metal. When you tighten the bolts, it pulls the thin stamped metal right into the curve.

    Glad to see that one again any time. Unless I'm showing one of MY Ping Pong paddles!
