Growing bentwood furniture

[Bombadil]

The wood is grown in its required shape at the nursery- minimal carpentry, no joints in the timber!

Brilliant idea, must make it super strong.

 

They do commissions too. Have you seen many customers with enough patience, though??

 

This designer doesn’t make chairs. He grows them?from trees – Quartz

Fascinating stuff ! Conjures up endless possibilities . I spoke to a chair maker in Dorset who has been growing some Ash saplings around formers he made for certain parts , also seen a load of sculptured trees / shrubs on t'internet in Australia along similar lines . Although Willow is quick growing and easy to work I think Ash or Hazel would be better . I am working on some stick type furniture at the moment , mostly Ash .
