I really like that! Very clever and creative. (you sure you want to
vibrate all your components with that subwoofer?)

Very nice, Han. Japanese Dutchwegian design roots?

Thanks,Larry! We like the Scandinavian style (children of the 60's &
70's). My Dad was born in Indonesia (Dutch East Indies then), and we have
some old stuff of my Grandmother's.

I have to find a place for that at the other side of the room. Have to
convince dear spouse that such is a good idea ... Leaving it up there
rather than hiding it keeps it at the back of my mind.

Thanks, Lobby! I got the idea from Fine Wood Working, an article on
alternatives to the traditional raised door panel in the August 2010
issue (#211) on pages 48 and following.
I didn't use their method for weaving, and I used iron-on veneer edging
(maple and walnut). With the design assistance of Afina, we decided on 3
vertical strips (middle maple, left and right walnut), which I ironed
onto a "framelet" of little strips sort of free hand. Then I tightly
wove the horizontal strips (4 walnut, rest maple as shown at
<http://tinyurl.com/3hf96rh>), and ironed them onto the framelet, shown
in the last photo. I had attached the framelet to a temporary hardboard
support.
I am in the process of finishing the doors now, and must remark,that
there are 2 slight difficulties:
The first is that the woven veneer edging strips still have a curling
tendency (I didn't think a flat support as recommended in FWW would be
necessary - the younger grandkids will prove me right or wrong). So I
need to stretch them somehow. Either by using a tensioning strip on the
back, or by gluing the framelet into the real door frame.
(COMMENTS will be appreciated, because I don't know whether this setup
has expansion/contraction problems).
The second is that next time I'll likely finish the veneer strips before
mounting. Now the wiping of BLO, then shellac and soon poly is a pain
because I have to get under the top strip where they cross. I don't know
how prefinishing would affect the ironing/gluing of the strips.
Still in progress ...
