After the shaping of the serpentine curve is done, I would rip them into appropriate weights for drawer fronts. My thought was given the vagaries of try to shape the curve in thick stock to a layout line, shaping the curved wall stop was glued together would being that even if the shaping of my curve wasn't "consistent" with the layout line, at least it would match the adjacent drawer surface.
I recognize the downside of my approach is it doesn't allow for using the bandsaw to rough out the curves that would be possible if each drawer front was built separately. I would really appreciate your thoughts about achieving consistency from drawer front to drawer front when building each drawer front individually and using the bandsaw to rough out the curves. Were you able to saw/shape close enough to the layout lines so that adjacent drawer fronts all matched? If so, definitely better than my approach.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and comments. Really appreciate your feedback.
All the best, Mike
