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

in?
Thanks in advance,

How long is it and what kind of radius do you need? Unless it is quite
short and/or you neeed a very tight radius, you can bend it dry. Oak bends
quite well.

Tried it dry, no luck. The bend is quite tight.

God, I love it when people ask questions and fail, even when prompted,
to give clear examples of what the hell they're trying to do. Next
you'll be mad at me for not giving you the answer to an incompletely
posed query. thud

EXPLETIVE: A balm, usually applied verbally in hindsight,
which somehow eases those pains and indignities following
our every deficiency in foresight.
