Step 4Gluing it up
Use an existing boken to establish the shape that you will bend the two pieces of wood over. You want to get a reasonably close match on the inside curves.
Clamp the center first, then work your way outwards. Clamp directly over all the support sticks, and then at the ends. Fill in clamps afterwards. Let the set-up dry for about 4 hours. Wipe off what glue you can. Once dry, scrape off the glue that has pushed out.

How would you do this using only 1 piece of wood?

I see your point. The glue up was for the look, not so much for strength. However, with poly glues that are now available - strength would not be an issue, regardless of orientation.

Hi, I was wondering if there was some other alternative to bending/gluing two pieces together since I don't have the necessary tools to do so aka 50 clamps XD thanks!
