Think outside the box!

Think Circles!
As if we don’t have enough projects going on already. My Husband started this round box this week just wondering if he could do it.
He made this by bending wood with water and pressure. Each layer is super thin, soaked in water and bent with weights before he attached each peice.
He made a mold of nails and wood to keep the wet layers in place then clamped them together. They sat clamped like this between each layer for at least a day.
This picture is 5 layers of wood , the green tape is over some splintered edges which will be sanded down till smoothed out.
Amazing isn’t it? He hasn’t figured out how he wants to do the top just yet, but when he does I’ll post the finished pictures!
Don’t you love it when an idea takes off and comes together?
