The wood must be plasticized. Although wood can be plasticized chemically or even by microwaves when in a green state, the most convenient way to plasticize wood is with steam.

It involves building up a curved form with layers. The layers may be thin veneers, thicker constructional veneers or saw-cut strips. They are assembled so that the grain of each layer is running in the same direction, following the curve . The layers are glued together with a strong adhesive and are sandwiched between the waxed faces of a former or a jig using cramp pressure. The layers bend to the shape of the jig and ‘set’ together.

Wood is naturally flexible despite being high in moisture but once it is cut or after felling, the wood starts to lose moisture and begins to harden. When this happens, it may take a lot of time, and effort, for wood to bend to different shapes. The following techniques do not use heat or steam but can take time to bend wood. The lamination method uses a Bending Wood or a special kind of glue to bend wood. You Bending Wood be using a form or a pattern where the wood will be set in order to take up the form. The laminate will then be added in order to force the wood to take up the form. Cut the length of the wood strips longer than the final measurement. You need to do this because this technique will shorten the length of the wood. Draw a diagonal line using a pencil and a ruler across the bottom of the stock. This is done should the wood strips become dropped or rearranged. You will be able to tell which piece fits to where. Cut the wood strips using a straight-grained edge.

I’m 31, married, grow veggies, have two cats, chickens, and live in a half-renovated 1920s cottage in Queanbeyan. I did it in reverse — furniture at the ANU School of Art first, trade in cabinet-making second. For the past decade, I have been professionally employed across many aspects of the furniture and design sectors. This has included high-scale manufacture; computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacture (CAD/CAM); commercial cabinetry; production and fine furniture-making; shop and museum fitout; exhibition design; project and design management; public art; urban design, and musical instrument-making. I am now in a very fortunate position to be able to combine my own furniture studio practice with teaching. In 2012 I was awarded an Australian National University Scholarship to undertake a PhD, beginning in 2013. My talk will be about learning, skills, thinking, and how furniture can tell a story.

PECK, Technologist 1 Forest Products Laboratory,– Forest Service U. S. Department of Agriculture •••••n 01.1 Introduction Wood bending, an ancient craft, is of key importance in many industries today -- notably furniture, boats and ships, agricultural implements, tool handles, and sporting goods. Of the several methods commonly used to produce curved parts of wood, it is perhaps the cheapest, conserves material, and produces a member of high strength. Despite its long practical history and advantages over other methods, however, there is no method of wood bending that guarantees 100 percent success. Long experience has evolved practical bending techniques, and skilled craftsmen to apply them. Yet commercial operators are often plagued with serious losses due to breakage during the bending. operation or the fixing process that follows. There'is a long-felt need for more reliable knowledge about such factors as (1) selection of bending stock, (2) seasoning and plasticizing of wood to prepare it for bending, (3) efficient machines for the bending operation, (4) drying and fixing the bent part to the desired shape, and (5) the effect of bending on the strength properties of wood. This report presents results of research on wood bending and related in- formation as developed at the U. S. Forest Products Laboratory and other laboratories over a period of years, together with investigations and ob- servations in furniture factories, ship'and boat yards, and other plants where wood bending is done commercially.
