I make bent wood frames, as part of my art, by bending and gluing together thin strips of wood. I apply the same technique for building one of a kind trellis. The trellises are made of 3" bendable cedar boards joined with exterior wood glue. The pieces are sanded and can be stained or painted. I first design a customized piece on a 3D program to get a good visual of it before I start. I build the arch trellises in four foot sections which can be daisy chained together to make a tunnel to any length. The design can be very flexible with this technique and creates a unique trellis and wood structures.

I can use the same technique for other uses like this window awning design

These are too large to ship but if you are local in the Portland metropolitan area and are interested in a design email me at: efrain@palermoproject.com
