Making bentwood boxes (also known as bent-corner boxes and kerfed boxes) is an art form that involves grooving, steaming and bending a single wooden plank of yellow or red cedar to form the sides of a box. … Bentwood boxes are valued possessions in any time period, but traditionally they were used to house wealth and ceremonial objects. 2, record 1, English, - bentwood%20box

Les parois des boîtes de bois cintré sont confectionnées au moyen d'un seul morceau de bois, typiquement du cèdre. La technique de cintrage du bois pour créer une boîte imperméable est originaire de la côte du Nord-Ouest et elle continue d'être utilisée de nos jours. Les boîtes de bois cintré sont créées par des ébénistes d'expérience, qui possèdent les connaissances mathématiques et les compétences nécessaires pour entailler le bois avec précision, le soumettre à la vapeur et aligner les coins de la boîte. 1, record 1, French, - bo%C3%AEte%20de%20bois%20cintr%C3%A9
