soaking poplar allows for it to bend just like pine… we’re not really sure why we never tested this approach earlier. the overall look of pine is much nicer but the thing that we found about poplar is that because it’s a harder wood, it holds its shape better.

for our final, we want to iterate on our midterm and create a wearable sculpture that allows for two people instead of just one. because the max width of wood we can get it 11.25″ we had to split our design into three pieces.

… and they will fit together… puzzle-like. which means we will incorporate pocketing. exciting!
