By cutting a special pattern into wood you can bend it into curves without any significant stress.  This is called kerfing.  There are lots of examples on the internet on doing this with saws.  We are Makers Local 256.  We do things with lasers.  Here’s our first attempt at kerfing wood with the laser cutter.  Pay no attention to the charred part.  That’s just where we didn’t pay it enough attention.  RESPECT THE LASER, CHILDREN!
