Accordianing Hollow Form Idea *LINK* *PIC*

Had some resawing to do so I finally put the Laguna Tools Resaw King I bought on sale for $75 last year on my bandsaw. Got out my shop made, adjustable for blade drift", resaw fence and cut the first slice. Was amazed at how smooth the sawn face was - as smooth as the S4S board I resawed. And because the carbide teeth have almost no set, the kerf is narrower than the Wood Slicer I've used and the cutting action is smooth, even at a fairly high feed rate. Not quite like cutting butter, but . . .

You've probably seen the attached video or heard about the Bridge City JointMaker - and wiggle wood that can be made with it. So I'm thinking - WHAT IF . . .

Pieces turned green often deform in interesting ways. Wonder how an accoridaned hollow form would behave as the humidity changes?
