Tudor West Dining Room Wall

Can you tell me how the arch part of the doorway is achieved? Thank you

Sure!

I start by mapping out the face of the arch 4 times on a 1/32" sheet of bass wood. After cutting and sandwiching the four panels together I attach them directly to the wall between the two vertical beams. They should be exactly 5/8" between the two outer edges. I then cut a 1/16" sheet of bass wood across the grain exactly 5/8" from the leading edge. By cutting across the grain the wood strip will bend easily along the contours of the arch. After dry fitting and cutting the strip into 2 parts for each side I glue the parts on and tape them up until the glue dries. Some filling with joint compound will usually be needed. So far this system has worked 5 times without a problem.

All with amazing results! Thank you for walking us through it :thumb:

I just noticed a garing mistake I made in the directions. The four panels are glued together in pairs with the outer panel off-set by 1/4". One panel for each side of the entry frame.
