Project Information
Decorative window valance using a design from a Captain's Desk. I got the idea from Rick Gonzales who is a woodworking instructor at the El Rito Heritage Retreat Center at Northern New Mexico College in El Rito NM. The frame is a rope cut design that is used in southwest style furniture. I carved three sides of each frame piece and then cut a rabbet for the design to fit within the frame. All carving done using gouges and flat wood chisels. Satin finish.
Sorry I don't have pictures of the build process. I didn't give it a thought at the time. My wife wants two more of these for over the other sections of the doorwall. I'll take interim pictures during the build and post a blog.
