Time to plane and resaw some wood

Sorry, no photos of resawing. You can see the resaw beast on the left however. No not the one in muffs. She will punch your face for thinking that.

Resawed boards

Time to bendy

GF came up with the idea of using the posts as the form. Worked well.

More bendy.

Back side of bendy

In the yard bendy

You really cant have too many shots of bent wood.

Building layers with every clamp I own. Still wasnt enough

Took the second one down to plane edges flat.

Clamping up spots that had gaps.

Both sides up. One bolt through

Nailing cross pieces

Not sure what she is doing here. Touch up I think

Well that escalated quickly. Lights up, daughter loving on dog.

Because Reddit isnt the boss of me, I put the before last.

The patio build is on another post. Go find it if you want. Or not.

10/10 would let her sand my wood

So what's the point of a pergola? It doesn't look like it blocks all that much sun. Doesn't keep rain out... why not a porch?

As a Carpenter, 9/10 they're made solely for decorative looks. Some people growing ivy/vegetation over them, some make them really big.

Wondering how the curved wood is holding up now that it has been years later. Also, is there a way to get the Plans as it is beautiful!

A tip to all you would be clampers out there, pipe clamps are Freaking awesome. They are cheap, super versatile and nearly indestructible.

Absolutely gorgeous. It looks like you knew what you were doing. I would totally screw this up. Smack myself in the face with bendy board.

Sliced it into thin bendy layers, glued back together after bending ... I think.

All dick jokes aside, how do they curve the wood? Just many thin layers glued together? Soak them in water and clamp in place?
