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.
 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?
