Post: RE: Bending Cedar for Arch

Well, I gave it a shot. All glued up and now to let it set for a while. Fingers crossed! The laminating process was actually a lot of fun; I really enjoyed it.

Excellent! John, that arch I'm working with is nothing more than sheetrock over wood! No masonry work for me, at least not on this job! I'm really looking forward to trying the lamination approa...

Hmm, I was still going to try the one-piece bending method with oak, first. The use of kerf cuts will reduce the rigidity and aid in bending. I actually was able to successfully round my first piec...

Post: RE: Bending Cedar for Arch
Thanks, guys. I figured laminating pieces together was probably going to be the most likely way. At the same time, I don't mind if there are joints that can be seen if I cut the pieces in a fashion...
