Pretty simple to do and effective if the back of the board is hidden from site. The bending I’ve done used a series of partial kerf cuts across the back of the board.

It puts a completely different dimension on your woodworking realising that not everything has to be straight and square. Of course getting wood to bend sometimes is a mission unto itself!

I have laminated for rocking chair rockers, and most recently for long bows. For me, the greatest guru of bent wood designs is Michael Fortune, probably Canada's greatest furniture artist. If you are interested in bent wood projects, you owe it to yourself to get acquainted with his work. Tom Hey Tom,
