    Fail - Equilateral triangle with 50/50 mitres

To get it accurate and repeatable id make some form of router sled to the angle then mitre it a few mm off...

    Antique Pantry cupboard Build (Refresh/Upcycle?)

    Thanks, Its a lovely thing, quite jealous of it actually! The curve was cut from jointed wood, with the grain fully horizontal, as you can see, this is less than ideal in terms of movement as you have a lot of cross grain movement, hence the big gap where it meets the hinged stile, but it is...
