SWIMBO has taken a fancy to have one of these circular, oriental display jobbbies made and yours truly has been tasked with the job.
This is one we saw in Kyoto recently and is what I'm going to attempt to reproduce, minus the fancy carved foot. The diameter of the circle will be 380mm (it will then go through the Jet 16-32 drum sander) and each hoop will be laminated from strips of American Cherry in two semi-circles jointed together.
The thickness of the hoops will be 8mm and the width going through the sander about 12-15mm. I've got plenty of thin odds n'sods of cherry to make all the shelving and partitions and have one or two ideas floating around but would be interested to hear about any others. TIA - Rob
