[Reviewed by AWR]
Moving from the straight grained and narrow to the design potential of curves is the scope of this information packed book. The author aims to demystify the process of wood bending by explaining how to use heat, water, steam and microwaves to this end. Cutting and curving laminations, vacuum pressing and bending panels are covered. There’s theory to start with, pictures of different makers’ work to reveal the possibilities and then copious photos to illustrate every step of all the processes described. Projects such as the rustic green wood chair, Shaker box, recurve bow, cabinet components and more demonstrate techniques.
