Abstract

This paper describes the fabrication of a multipurpose table using banana trunk fibre-woven fabric-reinforced composite material. The aesthetic value coupled with strength and mechanical properties make banana trunk fibre-woven fabric-reinforced composites a suitable material for furniture making. Design and fabrication details using hand lay up process are described.
