This project was inspired by Poritz and Studio . They have made a number of pieces with tambour doors that are simply stunning.I used walnut and ash for the entire piece. I tried to integrate the ash in a manner to break up the walnut.To make the tambour doors I made some 1/2” plywood out of mahogany with a walnut ply for the face side. I then cut the strips shown in pic #5 on my bandsaw. Picture #6 shows the jig that was used to keep the strips square and flat while the canvas was glued to the back side of the strips. After the glue dried the canvas had to be “broken.”
A video of the doors operating is on You Tube.Thanks for looking, I'm happy to answer any questions.
