some I go looking for information on bent wood boxes that have been made by northwest pacific natives since before recorded history and I find out that the whole concept of bending wood with steam didn't even exist before some german guy in the mid-1800s? hmmm. This must be some of that euro-centric point of view stuff that all the politically correct folks get all huffy about. I'm sure no offense was intended, but this is slightly humorous to me.

Bentwood box?

How is the " red cedar Tsimshian Bentwood box" pictured a bentwood piece? It looks to me like flat pieces of wood fixed together and painted with designs..45Colt 03:29, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The museum captioned it as "bentwood". The Tsimshian people are known for their bentwood work in western red cedar. The random "designs" you refer to are actually deeply culturally significant for the peoples of British Columbia and their box making. The article already describes this.
