Fair Curve With Wood

I was amazed at this chair and all the curves in it but still how sturdy it was enough to hold someone. This week in dealing with my fair curves in my pieces I realized that bending the wood when it wants to be just straight creates tension and often splinters or splits entirely. You can see that the curves are reinforced with multiple layers, but it still amazes me.
