ORIGINAL: DollMaster72 I made one out of alternating maple and cherry segments, basically put together like a barrel. I sanded it for shape on a spindle sander. I forget how many segments and exactly what the miter cut was. I was haveing the same delima with the how to close it part. I had some chest hardware and a hinge. Making wooden hinges isn't that difficult, and jatoba would be and excellent wood due to its hardness. You could have a similar hinge with a drop in pin to hold the front together. I wonder if you couldn't use some kind of a scarf joint. Were you planning on steam bending, laminating or cutting it out of a solid chunk? going back and forth between cutting it out of a solid chunk and bending. the demesionins are, max of 1 inch wide, and 1/4 inch in thickness, i'm thining 4 rod rare earther magents in the center, aka the thickest part as the outer surface will have a cooper to it. 2 on each side of the opening, the 1/8 x 1/8 inch rod magenets have a 2lb pull on them, think that'll be enough, with one on each end of the removable section? this one will be for show, the next will have adreware and be for play.
