Curved bench

Check out my social media pages, plans for this bench are on my facebook page! :D I started by drawing a design in auto cad and and printing the plans. I drew the plan on two layers of 24 mm plywood and attached mold parts with screws along the curve. I cut 6x45 mm larch stripes and planed them to 5 mm thickness. All together, I used 120 pieces which were 2m long. I used two component melamine glue for lamination. Groups of 8 stripes are glued together and pairs of 2 stripes are placed in between without gluing. Pairs of two act as 1 cm distancers and are later cut into smaller 10 and 5 cm pieces. After the glue sets, pieces are removed from the jig and are planed down to 4 cm thickness. straight 2 m pieces are cut to 38 cm length and are glued onto seat with 10 and 5 cm stripe pieces glued in between. 10 cm stripes hold the legs and seat together. After glue sets over night, excess wood is trimmed, everythi
