For my second attempt at furniture building going to TRY to build something like this
Although not that clear from the picture the top overhangs by about 40mm on each side. This then meets the lower part of the cabinet via a 40mm curve. Bit like coving I suppose, can’t think of a better way of describing it.
What I’m not sure of is what I can use that will be flexible enough to be able to be bent to a 40mm radius. The final thing will be covered in flexy veneer so appearance of the material used to make the radius is not important, providing the veneer can be stuck to it.
Second but less important is the edge in the top. As shown in the picture the edges are curved. Have brought some edging which I can tack on to give that effect. Tested to see if flexy veneer stuck to the top will bend around it but it just cracks. So how best to add and veneer it so that it doesn’t just look like an add on. If need be will leave the edges square but would prefer to use the beading.
Thanks
