Adding Curves to a Redwood Trellis

There are many ways to introduce curves into an outdoor project. Probably the most straightforward is to simply create and install curved braces, instead of using angled pieces of solid straight lumber. The easiest way to do that is to cut the curved braces out of large, solid timbers, but finding quality material with the dimensions required is often both difficult and costly. In addition, you need to have the equipment and skill to make accurate cuts on sometimes thick material, and there is usually a lot of waste. More times than not, the task requires laminating thin pieces of material together around some sort of form to create the curved shape. This is not as difficult as you might think.
