This project including the making of two shutter sunburst, to match interior plantation shutters, with 3 1/2" louvers. These sunburst were made from poplar, with the exception of our using an MDF core within the outer arch. Measurements were taken at the time cardboard templates were created, to insure they were sized correctly.

Nice work.
How do you regulate the hole/pin sizing to keep the slats moveable? When I have done these, it is hard to get the sizing right where the slats are too hard to move, or too loose to hold a position, or both in the same panel?

Dave, I drilled 1/4" holes in both the outer arch and inner hub. It seems everyone I build, I try to advance to a new method to deal with just what you are mentioning. On these two, I used a shutter louver tension pin, that is forgiving in fitting the 1/4" hole, due to a tang that is flexible, yet provides just enough tension control. I dont see how to add a picture to this comment, so I will send one to you in a email.
