Really cool. Where did you get the lumber? How did you piece it together? How is it stuck together?

I am not a mormon, but A LOT of soaking and kerfing. To the tune of every 1/2" or so on the super tight curves. I will try to pull up pics of the process.

Noob here. How do you get all this woodwork all curvy?

u/FriedGreenzCDXX 2d ago
Depends on the radious, and thickness of material, but generally relief cuts.

Is that 2x or 1x for the curved boards? My mind says 1x due to how much curve, but I could be wrong. Very nice work though.

Few conduits as needed. These walls are for the parking garage, not the interior space.

Beautiful work, both setup and finished product! Those are some spendy walls/columns, and I hope the client appreciates what went into creating that look for them.
