My first experiment involved testing the process in which layers of cork are glued on top of each other and set in molds to form complex curves. I cut 4" by 4" squares, applied Gorilla glue in between the squares, and then bent them between two paper cones using vice grips. The chairs above were made using a similar process. After seeing the results and if were to do this experiment over agian I would use a more sophisticated jig to form the shape. Weak points formed due to lack of pressure against the mold I used.
