I worked on the only carving in the whole cupboard just about. This is the front of the 2nd drawer from the top – of the lower case. Here’s the original –
It’s 3 repeats of one pattern – here’s the pattern isolated:
I made a video of the work, it’s chopped with a gouge rather than cut with a V-tool. So something a bit different.
But one of the first things I said in the video is a lie – turns out I found afterwards measurements of the carved bits. Partial measurements anyway. I came close to what I measured in 1999 – close enough.

PETER FOLLANSBEE: JOINER’S NOTES 
are those large curves (lunettes? hemispheres? arches? …) done as a series of gouge cuts, too? if so, how do you keep them from looking scalloped from the inline angle shift between the curve and the gouge angle?
The video shows how I outlined & cut the whole thing. If the gouge is the right size & shape, it works out fine.
At least this guy could plan ahead.
Question: Wouldn’t he have painted the raised portions before excavating the sunkwork? You’re in for a somewhat trickier paint job?
