I’m going to do a quick mock-up before I tackle the final wood of walnut and cherry. Each tier will be like molding mitered together. My biggest concerns are the bottom 2 tiers because I’m not sure my TS can handle that thickness in a 45 degree miter. I think shaping a cove and oval that size will probably take lots of handwork. I don’t mind the work but my granddaughter didn’t give me the luxury of time J

I’m building the 2 tiers out of ¾” pine (essentially making pine rectangular boxes). My thought was I could see what scale will look like with the first 2 tiers drawing in the coves and curves. In reality, the first 2 tiers will probably be out of 12/4 stock. This has caused to me to think ahead to the real build. If I shape each piece first and then miter, I will have 4 pieces with a giant cove and 4 pieces with a large roundish shape. How do I clamp that? I can use strap clamps but they will just slide off. I’ve read about gluing small blocks on each piece to hold the straps on and then removing the blocks later. Haven’t ever done it but may have to.

Probably will be a combination of band saw, spokeshave, plane (if possible), & a lot of sanding. Doubt I make the deadline though.
