All,
I have been working with a client to design a TV cabinet, after agreeing the design I have realised I've made a big mistake. While merrily drawing a quarter matched door in sketchup the realisation didn't dawn till it was too late that quarter matching only works with squares, these doors are taller than they are wide so the angle of the joint lines is not 45 degrees, it is a different angle either side of the joint therefore the grain cannot be made to followround the joints. If I make the joints 45 degrees there will be 2 different sized veneer pieces to make up the panel so again the match fails.
What do you think about this? Would it look really clunky if the grain does not flow smoothly around the panel?
It is a real dilemma, as I am generally very happy with the design but I don't want it to be let down by an issue like this.
I'd be interested to know your opinions.
