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

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

Pete, your memory serves you well, he did split the oak stock rather
than saw it.
