Seeing those horses would give a veterinarian nightmares. :haha:

Those horseys got wood.

This may be slightly beyond your DIY skills without a little practice.
But these dudes make a bunch of different size and shape tambour furniture. I think this one is only $24k. :rolleyes: http://cellar.org/2017/mFIi3T9.gif |
nicely done.
|
Holy cow.
|
I was wrong on the price, that one is W41xH36xD18 at $14k.
The bigger one is W46xH62xD15 at $18k. |
That is nice. I wonder what you use for a strap, and how it is attached, that is both long-lasting and replaceable.

It looks like the mechanism with the bronze rails is made, then the veneer added. What makes me think that is the grain pattern doesn't seem to be interrupted so the must be cutting the veneer with a laser or some other very narrow kerf method.

And according to this online store, there is a tambour glue. The thin kerf cut also really impressed me. I wondered how they did it. Maybe it's a standard 1/16th inch kerf that you would get on a thin kerf saw. |
Sure, using the bunch of straps glued to canvas is the easiest way, but unless the curve in the track is gentle, the slats will open up a lot. The way around that was to make the strips of wood half rounds so the separation on turns wasn't noticeable. The high end pieces skipped the canvas and machined each slat to interlock. With that method there still had to be some rounded relief between slats. What these guys are doing is beyond that, big bucks beyond that.
:idea: In each of the material lists they mention leather but I don't see any showing. I wonder if they use leather for a backing on the tambour? |

Another one of those common pieces of factory equipment turned into a fancy table for the people who closed the factories and sent the work to China/Taiwan/ India/Africa.

Just find yourself a purty piece of wood... and some quarter sawn boards, then build a box.
