There is a chaise that Iquite like the look of but I'm not sure how the twist is done. If youclick on the View 6in Detail you'll see what I mean. The wood is flataround the edge and then twists 90degrees on the x axis and 90 degreeson the y axis to wrap around the top. It says 'carved from solidwalnut' but wondering if this is accurate. I guess it could be abandsawn from a solid chunk but seems more likely (to me) to be someform of compound lamination. Thoughts, and if the latter any pointersto where such a technique is described online.damian

This piece is obviusly just an ordinary piece of 1 by 2 which is bentand twisted to the desired shape. DAGS "wood bending"

Overkill. A 3 axis would do fine. > A 5 axis CNC mill

How is this piece made

Wanna bet?

Check the 2x4 pile at any BORG!

Now, if they can do it with cheap lumber, a real woodworker should be able to manage an equivalent accomplishment in quality wood.

OR, you get lucky, and find some 'ready to use' parts in the 2x4 stack. Then it's just a matter of applying the right 'faux finish' to make it "look like walnut".
