Bent Ply Stool

posted by wes at 8:31 pm

At an attempt to expand on my woodworking techniques, I wanted to learn how the process of bending plywood.
// these form explorations informed the final result of the design
// early sketches during process
The final design incorporates several layers of high-quality veneer, which were formed in a vacuum bag.  Structure can be created through bending and laminating layers of ply, and with each layer added the piece is stronger.
