You need to know that not only straight logs are favored by the community. Curved wood can have a high selling point in our company. Our company uses wood to create furniture that can make your home interior design an art of its own.
We utilize materials, and twist ideas that are rarely found on the market. We use good teak as the base material, but most people don’t want to use curved teak, even though it is still strong and of good quality. Sometimes we use natural wood to make curved art on furniture that is indeed sturdy, if the wood is not strong of course we don’t choose it. Because we prioritize quality.
For example on this shelf, we make it and sell it in the world market, only using a bright idea then it sells at a high price.
Or you can deliberately warp your wood, like Stand Ukir made from Alas Gembol production.
We will discuss it, there are 3 ways if you want to bend your wood :
1. Kerf Or Kerfing Method
This method is usually the most commonly used because it has a fast time in the process. However this method can be easily used when the wood has a concave surface.
For the first method, measure and mark to look for knots. Set the depth in the blade on the circular saw. Using a ruler to help calculate the saw’s guide, cut it into several pieces until a notch appears. If you have bent the wood securely. Furthermore, the kerf is filled with wood glue if the kerf cannot be reached.
2. Using the Evaporation Method
The evaporation method makes the wood of better quality, because it can produce solid wood. The drawbacks are that it requires relatively inexpensive steambox construction and a woodworker itself.
3. Provide Lamination
Lamination is a rather complicated method because it requires precision, this method requires patience, because it requires a lot of construction, and a lot of equipment.
The first way is to form a shaper to form the wood, choose a thin sheet of wood, stack the wood, adjust the distance of the wood with tongs, then clamp the first clamp in the middle of the plywood pile, then clamp it on the part that is needed, if you have chosen glue, apply on each piece of plywood, let it set, sand the edges of the wood to remove any dry glue.
This method should be slow, not recommended in a hurry.
