Making some bookeneds by hand.
So far I used hand saws to rough cut and rip the board. Then a shooting board to create flat and perpendicular edges.
A saw and chisel to begin the curved edges. A carving knife to get me close and a spoke shave to give it a smoother curve.
Next will be dovetails.

I see a right angle, and thus an excuse for dovetails. How did you join the pieces? The curves look great!
In the photo the two pieces are just butted against each other. This is just to show how they will look.
I will make dovetails and then assemble them.
