Hi,

I have an idea for a project, and I was curious how it was made. I assume this shape is made with a shaper AFTER it is bent. I'm not sure how to feed it thru the router or shaper and keeping the cut consistent. The only way I could personally accomplish this so far would be to bend it in a vacuum (thin slices glued together). So I would bend first, then cut the profile.

(This profile is meaningless. Just drew it as fast as I could on Fusion. I also envision the profile on the ends, but that was beyond the Fusion work I wanted to do for a quick example)

Is there another way of doing this? Machine first and then steam bend?

cheers,
