Abstract

A method to produce a piece of malleable material comprising the steps of providing a sheet of densified wood that is further treated and/or impregnated at least to one side of the densified wood and thereby increasing the flexural strength over the flexural strength of the densified wood. The malleable material can be formed. Further, a workpiece and the use of a workpiece produced according to the method are disclosed.

Abstract

The present invention is directed to a frame (1) for eyewear comprising at least one front rim (30) for hosting one or more lenses wherein at least the front rim (30) comprises or is made of wood material that can be durably bent in ambient atmosphere. The wood material is wood with a rather constant density and/or deciduous wood, the wooden material being densified and/or compressed in direction of the majority of fibers of the hardwood and or pliable wood. The invention is also directed to the method of forming the frame (1).
