I have been nursing my sick computer to keep it alive and run out of time to write the message.
Enjoy your woodworking.

Dennis Yamamoto
Construction of a Cherry Console
Dennis talked about the cherry console he designed and built
based of a Moser console that he used as an inspiration.
Dennis bought 200 board feet of 8/4 veneer quality cherry from Bob Kloes
The templates and bending forms made for the cabinet
The front of the piece is curved and bent laminations to create the curved front pieces.
figured soft maple drawer sides
with hand cut through dovetails at the back of the drawers.
Since the drawer fronts are curved
Dennis used sliding dovetails to attach the Blum Movent drawer sides.
The legs are rift sawn. He has a jointer with power feed.
He did a lot of resawing to create the laminations for the curved portions of the piece.
He ran the resawn cherry through his drum sander to remove the saw marks.
The bent pieces are laminated and vacuum bagged over a form.
He has a shaper with helical insert cutters that he used with one of his templates
for shaping the curved lower part of the piece.
Back of the cabinet
Joinery includes dominoes, dovetails, and pocket screws.
with a Festool LR3 used for locating
he shelf pins that are located in the cabinets on either side of the drawers.
Many of the pieces are pre-finished before being glued together.
with four coats of Minwax Wipe-On poly to finish the piece.
(Bruce mentioned that he prefers Varathane Wipe-on poly... as it is less likely to streak.)
