First Bent Lamination Project

[Peter Harbin]

Hey gang,

It's been a while since I've been on the boards (and out in the shop!) and here's the reason why...

I enjoyed a couple extra days off earlier this week and was able to get some time out in the shop to experiment with some bent lamination (see the full write up at my blog link in my profile.) I've been wanting to try this for some time now, and it was pretty fun. I'll be trying more of this on a larger scale for sure!

This bend is made of alternating strips of Wenge and Padauk, and will become the handle for a box lid.

Thanks for looking...now I just have to catch up on about two months worth of your posts...in between bottles and poopy diapers that is. :)

Just Beautiful. And the bent laminations are nice too. Enjoy them both!

Nice blog post. Please post again when the process continues toward completion.

Here you go...six arcs completed and sanded. I've got a couple different ideas how to incorporate them on the box lids, so I'll be experimenting this next weekend.
