Bentwood work
Japanese bentwood work (magemono) is predominantly produced using one of two methods. In the first method, thin strips of wood are softened with steam and bent into cylindrical forms. In the second method, notches are sawed into the back side of wood strips, and the strips are bent into polygonal forms.
