The original idea was to make a piece with straightforward sides and curved doors as an eye catcher. I had seen these doors on a piece by Jeff O'Brien and decided to give it a try. Once the doors were done, I decided the sides and the two tops needed to follow the same pattern. The curved shapes were obtained by moving the sides perpendicular across the saw blades, raising them incrementally after each pass.

Overall height: 160 cm

Width bottom part: 56 cm

Depth bottom part: 37 cm

I used American Walnut for the case, European Walnut for the doors with Wenge additions and Zebrano for the drawers and feet.

My first post in this forum, hope someone will find it interesting.
