My customer wanted to add an arch between his home’s kitchen and hallway. This arch had to mimi the rest of the architecture of the house. This meant that the arch needed to be constructed out of a number of pieces of boards and wood trim. The problem was how to make the bottom arc bend as it was made out of 1 x 8 poplar.
The solution was to make many depth-cuts in that piece to so I could bend it. The bent wood was then secured using 18 gauge nails and glue. See the photos below for more details. I’ll post the completed arch in a future post.
