Abstract
A decorative furniture panel and process for making same formed by aligning a plurality of roundcore members in a predetermined relationship to form a wave-like design, bonding the aligned roundcore members to a holding member, joining the aligned members and the holding member to a substantially flat straightening member having a low moisture content to enable the moisture stabilization of the joined components, and encircling all of the members with a frame to hide member edges and form a substantially flat panel of a predetermined size for use in the construction of furniture.
Claims6
A process for making furniture panels including the steps of:
- aligning a plurality of roundcore members of substantially equal diameter in a side by side and contiguous relationship, each having an outer surface and inner surface, in a fixed relationship to form a predetermined design;
- affixing the inner surfaces of the aligned members to a substantially flat holding member;
- and joining the aligned members and holding member to a flat straightening member with a moisture content from 6% to about 12% having an inner and outer surface;
- first and second veneer coverings affixed to the inner and outer member surfaces;
- and cutting the roundcore members, the holding member and the straightening member to a predetermined size after they are joined to form a furniture article component of a predetermined size and configuration.
A process for making furniture panels including the steps of:
- aligning a plurality of roundcore members having an outer surface and an inner surface in a substantially flat and contiguous relationship to form a predetermined wave-like design, the roundcore members being aligned in a substantially flat plane of a single roundcore member thickness and being of substantially the same diameter;
- of fixing the inner surface of the aligned members to a substantially flat plywood holding member;
- joining the aligned single thickness roundcore members and holding member to a flat straightening member having a moisture content of from about 6% to about 12%, the straightening member formed from a particle board core having inner and outer surfaces and veneer coverings bounded to the inner and outer surfaces;
- and encapsulating all of the members with a frame to conceal member edges and form a finished, rigid and flat furniture article component of a predetermined size and configuration.
