Abstract
This method for producing a compressed wood article, comprises the step of cutting out, from a raw wood, a plate-shaped blank member having a curved surface intersecting its thickness direction, and the step of compressing said blank member using molding dies.
Claims3
A method for producing a compressed wood article, comprising the steps of:
- cutting out, from a raw wood, a plate-shaped blank member having a curved surface intersecting its thickness direction, in which said curved surface has a portion whose normal lines are not orthogonal to a direction in which wood fibers extend;
- and
- compressing said blank member using molding dies.
A compressed wood article cut out from a raw wood and having grain lines exposed on the flat or curved surface thereof, which is cut out from said raw wood in a shape that has a curvature different from a curvature of said flat or curved surface and has a curved surface including a portion whose normal lines are not orthogonal to the direction in which wood fibers extend, said curved surface being formed to form said flat or curved surface by being compressed, whereby grain lines formed on said curved surface are exposed on said flat or curved surface.
