Teardrop Tambours

Under the hatch there are five cabinet openings that need closures.  To that end, we have been creating the slats for tambour doors.  The material we are using is left over from the underside of the hatch.  By removing the tongue from the tongue-and-groove parts, we have pieces that are 3/8" thick by 11/16" wide with two rounded edges.

We have cut them to length, sanded, and applied a sanding sealer:

Each of the five tambours will have a bottom edge of rosewood, and a rosewood slat after two oak slats to mimic the wide and narrow rosewood inlays on the drawer fronts.
