Abstract
A method of manufacturing a curved shaped object formed primarily of plywood, the method comprising: cutting strips from a plywood panel; and arranging and bending the strips in two different directions. The strips can have edges that have a wavy profile. The strips can be arranged in a multi-layer stack where they are staggered or crossed. The object is at least partially ovoid in shape.

A method of manufacturing an object of curved shape formed primarily of bendable plywood, said method comprising:
- cutting a plurality of strips from a bendable plywood panel, the strips having an edge with a corrugated or wavy profile;
- forming a first layer of strips of the plurality of strips, wherein the first layer comprises strips arranged in pairwise contact such that the corrugated or wavy profile of a strip of the plurality strips of the first layer engages the corrugated or wavy profile of an adjacent strip of the plurality of strips of the first layer;
- and
- pressurizing the layer of strips to bend each of the strips of the first layer around two different directions.
A piece of furniture comprising a first curved element made of bendable plywood strips and obtained by:
- cutting a plurality of strips from a bendable plywood panel, the strips having an edge with a corrugated or wavy profile;
- forming a first layer of strips of the plurality of strips, wherein the first layer comprises strips arranged in pairwise contact such that the corrugated or wavy profile of a strip of the plurality strips of the first layer engages the corrugated or wavy profile of an adjacent strip of the plurality of strips of the first layer;
- and
- pressurizing the layer of strips to bend each of the strips of the first layer around two different directions.
A mold for manufacturing a naval part, an aeronautical part or a boiler making part, the mold being manufactured by:
- cutting a plurality of strips from a bendable plywood panel, the strips having an edge with a corrugated or wavy profile;
- forming a first layer of strips of the plurality of strips, wherein the first layer comprises strips arranged in pairwise contact such that the corrugated or wavy profile of a strip of the plurality strips of the first layer engages the corrugated or wavy profile of an adjacent strip of the plurality of strips of the first layer;
- and
- pressurizing the layer of strips to bend each of the strips of the first layer around two different directions.
