Camp Winston Sensory Yurt Furnishings | Fabrication and Testing

With the design finalized, the team has officially begun fabrication. One of the biggest challenges has been determining in the right amount of kerfing to balance structural stability with the desired curve radius and material thickness. After thorough testing, we’ve determined the proper CNC intervals and cut depths to achieve a smooth curve while keeping the piece strong. To ensure smooth, timely installation up north, we completed as much fabrication in-house as possible before heading to site.

We sprayed the kerfed pieces with water and used an iron to increase the flexibility of the wood while minimizing breakage.
