Bow Front Continued

Here is the bottom of the credenza being edged in hardwood.  The gentle curve of the credenza is part of an ellipse which meant it was easier to take a direct read of our curve with a bevel gauge rather than try to work out a mathematical formula.  The doors and drawers were coopered using this method.  This is where having a full scale drawing of your piece is important.
