Rob larissa glue up several layers of white oak and bend them into a curve form to create an arch like table base.
Bent lamination table legs.
Here i show the process for joining the two halves of the legs.
Bent lamination is based on the principle that if several strips are glued together face to face against a rigid form they retain the shape of the form.
Try bending two thin strips together and see how their surfaces slide one along the other.
Made from cherry that was salvaged on sawed for a c.

I wanted a design with curved legs done through bent lamination and ended up drawing quite a few different designs until i came up with one that both my wife and i really liked.
No delamination no creeping sliding.
