Impressions

In the case of woodworking, the weight of the material is.
Therefore, I felt it would be better to take a tight offset so that it does not fall off under its own weight

Impression

The load was concentrated at the base of the backrest and cracked.
When I checked the cracked area, the wood was not full enough.

I think that design bends more in the lateral direction than in the longitudinal direction.
The direction in which my backrest bends is vertical.

I made a big one, but I felt it better to make one that can withstand everyday use.
With regard to bending, it is better to make and try a lot more prototypes.
