Dash panel for boat

[DickB]

I replaced the original side panels in the boat with these mahogany ones. The originals were covered in vinyl like the seats. The replacements are the same size with the same cutout storage areas as the originals. I went through quite a few trial designs on the speaker grilles until I got them where I wanted them.

Question from a very very novice CW user........... How were you able to curve (bow) the board on the sides? Were those panels curving/bowing taken in to account when it was carved on the CW?
Nothing short of AWESOME and GENIUS carving!

The panels were built flat. The slight curve that you see in the top view was made by bending the panels, via the attahing screws, as the panels were installed. This was not much of a bend and did not stress anything.
