Wood crafts anyone?

I want to try my hand at some bent wood furniture.

I want to start doing some vacuum bagging and get some nice veneers for making plywood furniture.

My friend Milton, used to go by "Skinny", big dude, used to make skateboard decks. Way less likeliness of warping out of the mold with vacuum bagging 3 deck sets of seven plies per deck, than pressure concave molds on a ten ton hydraulic press.

It also means you only need a positive side of the mold for the plywood to lay over, slap the whole thing in the vacuum bag with the veneers and wet glue between them. Saves a lot of space and the need for heavy equipment. Just your own vacuum bag setup that you can make easy from common hardware stuff and the bag material, purchased online.

His skateboards were insanely strong and hold up under his ***. His recipe; good kiln dried great lakes maple veneers and tite-bond with a roller to apply it. You'd be surprised at how much abuse it can take and hold shape.

Also, vacuum bagging doesn't scratch or mar the wood, so you can place design work on the wood veneers before bending, with a vacuum bag. Pretty awesome for doing deck graphics. I used to do a lot of screen print prepped illustrations for his decks.
