Tambour Box
I thought I would have a go at one of these the timber is Northern Silky oak and New Guinea rosewood draw and tambour work together as you open the draw the shutter also opens. I made a set of templates to route the ends for shape and the track for the shutter. (apologies for photo's)
Regards Rod.Rod Gilbert.

Looks good Rod. Is there much friction from the tambour? I'm wondering if you need to hold the box in place while opening the drawer.
Cheers, Bob the labrat

Hi Labr@,
There is obviously some friction but minimal and as they say it will ride up with wear you do need to hold the box as you open but only minimal the shutter is still to be lubricated with wax and I am hoping it will become even easier.

Not a close photo but there is a tambour in each side of this pantry and it's just more boxes really.
