Bent Out of Shape

More progress on the curved counter cabinet since my earlier post.  Here is the backside of the oak plywood just after I cut the deep slits to make it bendable.  Notice the closer spacing of the cuts on the right-hand side, because that area has a tighter bend.

Persuading the oak to stay in place takes a lot of pressure, a lot of expanding glue, and a lot of wood clamps.  Plus dozens of pneumatic-driven finish nails. 

And voila', all of the curved stuff  done except for the trickiest part.  The hole is where the access panel to get to the sink plumbing will go. 

Here is that access panel, now under construction. Each backer board curved to precisely mate with each edge of the opening... hopefully.
