Completed the Four Convex Drawer Front with the Steps From Practice

Well I have finished making the four good convex drawer fronts with the genuine mahogany.  It is a bunch of work, but they came out good.  I will do the final fitting after I have sanded and glued up the case.

I started by hand planing  the board.

This way I could pick out the good color and grain from the board for the amount of wood that I needed.

Then I milled it to 1 3/4 thick by 4 inches and cut it into 8 1/2 inch blocks.  I numbered them so that I could put them in the lowboy in order so the grain flows.

Then I marked them out and started with the process that I had developed with the test pieces.

First cutting out the fronts.

Then the clean up so I can route the round over on the front edges.

Then using two router setups I round over all four edges

Now I have to cut out a 1/4 inch curve on the top of the drawer front.

Last I have to cut 5/32 off of each side and the remaining material from the top.

Now that was easy!

Next I have to make the two concave drawer fronts.
