  Tambour desk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A tambour desk is a desk with desktop-based drawers and pigeonholes, in a way resembling a bit that of a bureau a gradin.
Unlike the rolltop desk, the tambour desk uses straight, perfectly vertical rows of shutters, and the work surface rests on a few drawers, which in turn are supported by short legs instead of pedestals.
The tambour desk is an antique form indigenous to the United States of America, and should not be confused with the British Tambour writing table.

 Rag Rugs: Tambour Rag Rugs
Tambour rag rugs are one of the most interesting rug methods because what appears to be it's most simple form is actually the most difficult to learn to handle.
It is because of this that tambour is only currently used for accents or other small items and that, as a rag rug making method, it has fallen by the wayside.
Tambour rugs are made by pulling loops of fabric strip up through a burlap or canvas base with a rug hook.

 Tambour
Tambour lace in general came from the Orient where a round frame, or Tambour (like a drum) was held between the knees and a type of muslin fabric was stretched over the tambour and the stitches were formed with needle and thread on the muslin.
Tambour lace was brought to Coggeshall in about 1812 by M. Drago, a Frenchman who had two daughters.
Drago and his daughters set up a tambour room where the women and little girls were taught to tambour and, I imagine, where they later went to work each day as carrying a large frame from place to place would not be very convenient.

 Tucson Weekly : Music : Extinction of The Unicorns
Diamonds and Tambour would go on to become the primary members of Islands, while Ginger these days runs a record label, composes music for films and performs as one-half of the duo Alden and Adam.
In a phone conversation last week, Tambour responded to the question, "Why did The Unicorns break up?" thusly: "I think a better question is: 'Why did The Unicorns stay together for as long as they did?,' considering we all hated it like 70 percent of the time.
Tambour explains, "Me and Nick lived in L.A. for a little while last year, and those were two of the people we knew the best there, so we just hung out with them a lot, and it made sense to make music with them."

Problem is, he removed most of the hardware, too, and I can't picture how it is "supposed" to be in the curved overhead cabinets, or under the couch/bunks.
I would think that the under-bed one's could be fabricated w/ a straight vertical and straight horizontal track, connected by a 90 degree curve, as is available on the "outwater.com" site.
It would seem that some sort of "custom" curved piece of track would be necessary in the overhead cabinets, guiding the tambour up along the ceiling/wall that forms the back of the cabinet.
