Hello Everyone,
I building a Tambour for the first time. This Tambour is 46 inches wide.
The pieces that make up the top are 3/4" x 3/4". The length of the
assembly is 32".
What is the best fabric to use for this roll top? Someone suggested
cotton duck.
They also suggested using hide glue. Is hide glue the best? I have both
hide glue and yellow glue.
Thanks in advance,
Dan

You can also make tambour with string or cable instead of cloth
backing. No glue needed.

If you have not bought the tambour yet, take a look at Lee Valley. They =

Hey Dan ,
Either will do but yellow is probably the most convenient. As far as backing
material goes I always use heavy duty canvass and I found art supply stores
are an excellent source . mjh
