These alder radius trim pieces were made using a long trammel to layout the correct curve and then cut out with a jig saw and belt sanded smooth.

To determine the correct radius, I used a formula I found in an old carpentry book I purchased on Amazon. … [Read more...] about Floating Shelves & Custom Shelving
