Scandinavia
“Developing the understanding and relationship between technology and design”
In this unit of learning for the wood portion of technology, we explore the Scandinavian method of woodwork. Unlike the previous unit in which we experienced Japanese wood
joinery.The Scandinavian wood principle is based around laminated wood bending.
We explore the Scandinavian craftsmanship by experimenting with their techniques. These methods include Steam bending, Kerf-cut bending, Laminated wood bending and
microwave bending.
Ply-Wood 11mm 10mm Spacing
Red Gum 19mm
Ply-Wood 9mm 20mm Spacing
Pine 20mm 5mm spacing
Ply-Wood 9mm 7mm Spacing6.5mm Cut
Ply-Wood 10mm 7mm Cut6mm Spacing
Red Gum 19mm 3mm Spacing17mm Cut
Kerf Cut Bending Creating Sweep Curves
Experimental Variables included:- Types of wood- Wood thickness- Lamination
Mould BendingUsing an MDF mould which had a curve cut, then extra material removed to create a smooth edge, compensate for the veneers thickness and prevent the veneers from splitting. Three veneers were then steamed and placed between the two moulds parts to dry. Once they dried the veneers were then glued together and place back into the mould to dry. The finished curve bend was almost identical to the curve cut in the MDF wicth only small flex, as the glue has aided to givethe veneer a new memory.
Mobius StripThis was our initial mobius stripwe did it using a mould that comprised of two cylinders mounted onto a board, the cylinders were able to shift up and down to vary the length of twist.The strip was laminated in 3 ply and suc-cessfully retained its shape although we were unable to achieve a seamless finish.The layers also split at the bends
