Hey all,
I rekon it’s bent. Back in my boat building days we used a timber called rock elm that when steamed could just about tied in a knot. It wasn’t that rigid but was durable. Used mainly in fit out.

i was in a clothing store on flinders lane for some saturday in design stuff, can’t remember the name of the shop, but it was a well known one, think it started with K or something, it’s above eg.etal , anyway, they had a blu paconi with gold rims in the showroom, bent wood bars, and about 10 various shapep and coloured wooden bars on display, they look good. i saw one was made from two pieces of wood glued together, and one was just a single bent piece

I’ve seen a couple of Melb fashion ‘boutiques’ wack a track bike or BMX in the window. Anything to drag in those trendy melbourne types with their big dollars.

[christof]

Damn those big dollar types. I’d have some money in the account though, but I’m too so busy being poor.

just because i’d like to prove i’m always right, i found this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMh75Q43Rb8
of the guy who makes the timber risers, about 3/4 of the way through he explains that they are made from timser laminations which are cut to shape and then routed into a circle with a curved router bit.
