    Have to say I like the look of the S curves you have in post 122.
    It isn't often we get to throw in a few doodahs
    that treat the eye and the hand.

    Most of the S could be scrolled from a single piece of mahogany
    or more easily from two.
    Since the trim is not structural, short grain is not a problem
    even if the trim is as trim as it can be made. (1 1/4" X 1 1/4" ?)

    Looking good!


    {Edit: Keeps tickling the old greycells.

    Imagine if I was doing it I'd consider GLUING the trim on. NO fastenings, no bungs.
    The upper portion will be grabbed at times by fingers steadying their owners.
    A damaged piece of trim is fairly easy to replace even if glued on.
    And of course THAT will nevah happen!)
