Yes: Hard math :-P
I'll need a macro for linking rectangular blocks to cylinders, too, but
so far I haven't figured out the details yet. ATM I could only give you
an example of how to round off the edges on a linear polygon with
circular arcs, but although it's presumably a closely related problem,
it's not exactly the same.

Even without deliberate rounding, beveling or even sanding, boards will
/never/ have perfectly sharp edges - not to mention some deal of
involutary beveling by wear.
(That's why on my steam locomotive I'm actually beveling - or more
precisely, rounding off - /everyhing/ at least a tiny bit, even if it is
supposed to be machined steel instead of cast iron.)

Ok ... (clipka's and yours) inputs have started some ideas. I'll sit down
with a sheet of graph paper (this computer doesn't have POV) while I'm
watching the shop.
Cheers!

Looks terrific & brings to mind an oil lamp my family used when the
electric would go out. We'd play cards by the light - flame looks just right to
me.

That's a great image. It's so crisp that I keep looking for artifacts, but I
can't find any. The lighting, the colors, and the shapes are all very
appealing.

Excellent work, Jim. The only thing I find a bit perturbing is the big
yellowish shadow on the wall as it does not relate to something visible or
even recognizable in the scene. Maybe that needs some thought.

The brass lamp seems really a brass lamp... very relistic!
(...and I like the "grainy effect" of the wall.)
