Real nice work, Bob. Does it taper from front to back or are those 2 separate feet in the back? Do you do those fine boxes on the bandsaw,or scrollsaw?

I use a bandsaw Herb, tried scroll saws but I dont have the patience for them. And a bobbin sander to do all the hard work for me.
On this one I left the back panel off to cut everything out and sand the teardrop shape. Once that was smooth, I glued on the square rear panel, cut off most of the excess on the bandsaw, then the bobbin sander again to blend the curves to the back stand.

Teardrop and pear both sound better than kidney. Nice. One of the benefits of using beech with something dark colored is that the beech doesn't compete with it.
