Until now the technique of bending wood remains an exclusive technique, though in the original Scandinavian country, the technique has become a common thing for the history of wood-processing techniques are already very old. Bending equipment in Indonesia, is still an expensive item of furniture for the workshop or garage. To still achieve technique of bending wood will require a special way that can only be applied to jeins strand board. whereas for solid wood more often pursued by forming bending / curvature by removing certain parts of the meat timber to form the desired bending.
The technique of bending wood is an effort to change the nature of the wood with a variety of ways, the heating so that it can adjust firmness-forming particles of wood, or by making a slit (groove) is widened in the transverse direction along the plane of buckling board (kerfing)
Flow Gap Bend
How to create a line slit using a special gerjaji (backsaw) with the distance between the slit (groove) is regular and dependent bending curve. With slit position is in line with bending or be on the inside. Bending wood is a process softens the wood by temporarily using a hot air flow and water flow then timber can be formed into a curvature, streamlined through the process of suppression (high pressure) to the console hidrolic at the mall print and then dried to obtain the bending of the permanent because the physical properties of the particles wood that has been changed.
Wood curvature image by means of bending kerf, his process:
o Determine the thickness of wood that will be used
o Define Radius lengkungnya
o Defining Image arch precision, scale, according to the desired shape
o So by comparing the length of the outer radius / convex with a long radius inside / concave, you will get the difference of the length to be wasted
o Long timber must be disposed of are distributed evenly, based on the thick leaves that are used saws
o The distance between slits should be made equal
Curvature with Steam
A process of heating the timber by using a heater through steam heat / steam special function to soften the wood fibers to be easily bent. Penekukkan process usually use a strap or tools mal buckling and constituent (fixture)
bending plywood
Bending with several stages of lamination, ie, taping sheets perlembar board by relying on the strength of glue as a binder firmness bend (dry-bent). Other tools mold / mal (Male-female former).

There is a problem that you need to find the solution, namely how to describe the results of a design furniture with the formation and construction of the arch, especially the form of measurable and accurate arch of each part of the construction elements?
