Bending Compressed Wood in a Case Clamp

Cold-Bend™ compressed solid Maple from Fluted Beams LLC, the Extreme Wood Bending Company, is bent into a 1/2 round molding into a fixture with a case clamp. After bending, the fixture will be put in a warm, ventilated room for a few days to dry and fix the shape. The part will be trimmed, finished and installed as a base column surround in a bank building. The Maple is 1 1/8" thick, and a single, solid plank. Notice that the Maple is bent in just a few seconds. This video is made available to Fluted Beams courtesy of Harold Turner, owner of Commercial Bank and Business Equipment Ltd.
