Free Gorgeous Bombe Vitrine plans - Making a display cabinet with double bent glass. Cabinetmakers rarely attempt a bombe vitrine due to the difficulty of producing the sculpted forms involved, but when they do the design possibilities extend far beyond what can be achieved with flat and single-bent forms. Furniture shapes of double curvature such as bombe chests were and still are produced using wood carving techniques, but bending glass to a double-curvature form and fitting it to wood is rarely if ever attempted in contemporary woodworking.
