First I had to slice the warped piece into veneers, one for the back of the sheet and one for the front to balance out the stresses in the wood.
Stable as can be, and flat to boot.
The frame is dyed and ready to be glued up.
This blog is intended to be a direct window into my workshop. It is intended to unveil the processes, joinery, and materials that are so crucial to the production of Five Fifths Furniture. Check back often for updates on current projects, future shows and expeditions to procure new and fascinating materials.
Now the back
After returning from the Buyers Market in Philadelphia I found the solid piece of wood for the fixed portion of the lid warped beyond use- since it is the same board as the back live edge section of the hinged part I just couldn't use another piece. Sticky situation. I needed that board. So I had to make plywood out of it. That will teach it.
