The last couple months i have been making a new table for my wife and i.
Bentwood tables my awareness of steam bent and laminated wood began with a wooden tennis racquet which i still think is a beautiful artifact.

With glue between each lamination a press is used to bend the bundle of laminations around a form.
My wife and i decided we needed a new dining table and we wanted something a little different.
