Creating art from a locally grown slab of hickory and walnut. This project is deeply personal, using wood milled by a late family friend, and is a perfect example of how art can make us better woodworkers. In this video, I experiment with bending thin strips of wood to create an unusual picture frame that not only holds the art but becomes part of it. I’ll share my process, from rough sketches to Adobe Illustrator and Fusion 360 designs, and tackle challenges like reinforcing curved joints and creating a dome shape on a walnut centerpiece. Throughout the video, I highlight techniques such as using a vacuum bag for clamping, reinforcing joints with epoxy and plywood discs, and finishing touches that make the wood stand out. I aim to inspire you, whether or not you replicate the project, by showcasing how pushing the boundaries of woodworking can lead to unexpected and beautiful results.
