Description of the Webpages
These pages provide a lot of background information about solid wood bending. It is a sub-section of this website containing several pages devoted to factors involved with bending solid wood. This is a fairly technical background to wood bending and is not a manual on how to bend wood. If people want information about specific techniques
or have problems with trying to make a particular bend, hopefully they will take advantage of the discussion forum.
This page introduces a new technology for bending wood. Wood is steamed and compressed. After this process it can be easily bent in the cold state. Precompressing wood before bending it simplifies the bending process.
This page contains relevant photos of bent wood pieces. These are photos of interesting and creative bends.
This page provides a place for people to exchange ideas and ask questions for other people knowledgeable in wood bending to answer. Hopefully there will be enough interest and participation so people will be able to get problems solved.
