I need to bend some 3/16" oak and I know enough to know I shouldn't

Thanks in advance,

I don't know if you can find it, but Norm of the NYW did a show on
this exact subject. He bent oak into a victorian style hat and coat
rack.

I recall that programme. From memory, didn't he split the wood,
rather than cutting it, before it went in the steamer?
