Author Topic: 13th C. chair Seigneur de Leon Member Member # 65 posted 10-12-2002 11:18 PM                   Has anyone attempted to bend oak in this manner? What method did you use, soaking or steaming over a form? -------------------- VERITAS IN INTIMO VIRES IN LACERTU SIMPLICITAS IN EXPRESSO Registered: Nov 2000  |  IP: Logged Ulfgar Member Member # 225 posted 10-19-2002 12:49 AM                This looks like a fairly simple bend to do. I would reccomend using a steam bending method as both soaking and boiling will greatly weaken the wood fibres. In any case I find steam bending to be the simplest method anyway, with the least drying time and clean up afterwards.
