The back panel assembly is similar to the door construction. Start by using the same arched template to form the top rail for the back. The center back stile has 2"-wide through-tenons centered on either end that will be inserted in the top and bottom back rails. Set your drill press or mortiser to make ⁷/s" x 2" through-mortises at the center of the top and bottom back rails.

Next, use a bearing-guided slot cutter in your router table to mill a VV'-wide x ³/8"-deep groove on the inside of the back stiles, rails and both edges of the center stile. You'll need to stop the groove as it

cuts into the rails' tenons, otherwise they will no longer fit their mortises. While the router table is still set up for grooving, cut the grooves on the inside edges of the side panel stiles and rails.

To cut the arches on the tops of the back panels, you need a template that's the reverse of the arch in the top rail. Cut a piece of ¹/4" MDF to 15" x 37¹/4". Use the same paper arch template as before to transfer and prepare a reverse arch template.

Next determine which panel will go on the right and which will go on the left. Mark layout lines on the template. Use solid lines to indicate the edges of the stiles and dotted lines to indicate where the

MDF: Medium density fiberboard (MDF) is made from cellulose fibers compressed into a stable sheet product. Makes an excellent template material.

FLUSH CUTTING BIT: A router bit that has a guide bearing mounted either above or below the cutting edges that is designed for trimming a wood piece to match a template or pattern. Also called a pattern cutting bit.
