this is such a cool look, and what a great idea to use wedges in the spaces that would otherwise be empty/filled with glue and turn them into a feature rather than a flaw to be covered up! i am definitely going to try this. and i love that you explained it in so much detail and gave variations on how to get it done with different tools and techniques!

So, in reality, you could almost hide your bent kerf by using the same plywood goto the splines and make sure the core layers match the direction of the kerf bent piece. Thank you for the walkthrough and instructions!

i just tried this but with dense pine with some dense grains. the problem was that there is not even grain. small knots which makes weak points so if anyone wants to use pine, just think first. i a 1/4 of its thickness on the face and flipped over and did the same. the thing snapped easily. it was 0 degrees too in the garage lol.

@AtelierQube 6 ай бұрын

Hmm not the ideal situation if you ask me… I hope my English is good enough for this one: The thing is; you need warmth or heat to soften the lignin and cellulose in the wood. The colder the stiffer… Hence why they steam wood 😉 But also knots and such don’t really add ‘ flexibility’ I do hope you make it work though. If you have any questions feel free to ask 😉

Great explanation David. I think I already hate kerf bending. I'll have to give it at least one more try with the wedgies though!

Hi. Very interesting video and nice result. I´ve seen a lot of kerf bending videos and tutorials and no work looked so original and nice. Now a question/suggestion. Wouldn´t it be easier and faster if you cut a long stripe of colored plywood, along the longer side, and then divide it into smaller pieces, instead of cutting small pieces one by one, in the short side of the board? Also you could give this long stripe the angled shape at once, instead of doing it so many times as you do with each small piece. Thanks!

@AtelierQube Жыл бұрын

Hi Dario, thanks for the nice feedback! Oh, totally! Especially if you work with more accessible wood species. You could also combine the Rainbowwood for the ends (for the visible parts) and fill in the middle part with glue or a cheaper kind of wood. Feel free to let me know if you give it a go. Happy building!

So as a first project, I think this would be too hard. But, what do you guys think of using coloured epoxy once already glued. Or do you think it would just bleed into the ply and make a mess? Also, this is awesome! So many people cover up ply, I have no idea why. I love the laminations, they really add to the look.

@AtelierQube 2 жыл бұрын

Can't believe I missed your message... Thanks! Yea, I really do love the look of plywood - especially with colours- as well. I think if used correctly, it really adds to the design.

How easy would it be to use epoxy or resin to fill the gaps instead of using the splines?

@AtelierQube 3 жыл бұрын

It would be possible if you sealed the bottom while pouring the epoxy.

@AtelierQube 3 жыл бұрын

Ow! And if you heat up your epoxy a little bit, it will be more fluid. It will be easier to fill those small gaps

@dip_art 3 жыл бұрын

And the fibers around the cut will soak the color you use for the epoxy, so you should seal it with a clear epoxy first

Do you have a video on how you made the colored plywood? Did you use dyes?

@AtelierQube 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Todd, I made a video on how I make my custom plywood: rainbowwood. It was one of my first videos so bare with me 😉 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y9SAZqx535aUkXU.html I’m selling the coloured veneers at rainbowwood.be You could indeed colour them yourself with dyes but you either need thin and small stock or bigger equipment. Feel free to contact me on IG if you have more questions.

¿como se llama esa madera con los cantos de colores?

@AtelierQube Жыл бұрын

se llama Rainbowwood. es una madera contrachapada que hago yo mismo. algunas personas también usan patinetas recicladas. Usé el traductor de Google para esto, espero que tenga sentido 😅 it's called Rainbowwood. it's a plywood i make myself. some people also use recycled skateboards. i used google translate for this, i hope it makes sense 😅
