Get your shots!) I read a couple of magazine articles about how to make it and Norm has a really good video of how to do it. I thought I did a really good job and followed all of the advice in the video and articles. The tambour door is fairly large (44” x 44”) and made of quarter sawn white oak so it is also fairly heavy. I used contact cement on the canvas and slats as per instructions and it seemed like a really good bond. Last night I was wrestling it around trying to test fit it into the cabinet and some of the slats were coming loose and one finally fell off. That really bummed me out and now I’m trying to decide how to proceed. <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Whatta ya think?
