Lamination is different than veneering.
Bent lamination table.
My wife and i decided we needed a new dining table and we wanted something a little different.
Bent lamination just introduces the element of curving the laminate.
So the first order of business is to build the form followed by cutting the wood into lamination strips.
Long fascination with wooden boat construction exposed me to bent and laminated ribs that provide precise shape and great strength to weight ratio.
Once the glue dries the workpiece will hold it s new shape.
The table is made from ash.

In veneering the layers are oriented in an alternating fashion while in laminating the layers are oriented in the same direction.
Commercially made laminate layers are not widely available.
With glue between each lamination a press is used to bend the bundle of laminations around a form.
The table looks great in our home and would look great in yours too.
So i set to work making a diy wood dining room table with a bent lamination feature.
