Close-up of the intersecting diamond panel. Assembled as one piece before installing. Matched sticks make up each T&G V . Pocket screws helped in this crazy glue up.
Corner close-up. i duplicated the casings and madonna titties from the homes originals. Small crown is a smallest of 3 sizes i did for the the whole project. the top piece is removable for future generations to paint the walls via 3 brushed brass bolts and a snug fit.
Close-up of continuos scrollwork that is part of the transition from header to coves to scoll to beadboard of the mansard roof.
One peice of wood, over 140 of these 1 pyrimids, a few saw guides, stready sharp chisels and guided sanding blocks. It didnt get easier with the next.
