Beginner's Guide To Wood Steam Bending

Bullet Points:

1. Steam at 200-212 degrees
2. White Oak Bends Best, but other species will bend as well
3. Success with Quarter Sawn-Air Dried White Oak
4. Grain Run Out Shouldn't be under 12 inches
5. Keep parts on the form til dry (I did one hour to be safe) then transport to a drying jig/form until fully dry (I did one week)
6. Over build your jigs and bending strap (you will thank me)
