First of all I made up a paper template then transferred this onto clear plastic sheet. This allowed me to modify the shape to a final pattern.

I then copied this pattern onto 3/8 external plywood and cut out the shape using a fine bladed jig saw.

This was then worked to the position I am at now. I intend to apply some burr walnut veneer then after final trimming etc this will be finished off in two pack laquer.

I will post some photos soon and could possibly make my pattern onto a pdf file for easy down loading if anyone was interested in doing the same project.

I will keep you all posted on this.
