Default Rocking Chair


I am trying to contact Popular Woodworking, but their ad server is slow as
molassas in January.

On page 48 of the October 2011 issue of Popular Woodworking, there is a
picture on a rocking chair. For some unexplained reason, I want to build
it. I realize I have two choices on the legs and back, steam or laminate.
Given the way the arm comes in, lamination might be the easier. Either way,
I am going to have to build some bending forms.

My question is, the back has bends in two planes, how do you make the form?
Bending in one plane is a snap, two 90 degrees to each other would not be
that hard either. However, two at once, when they are ofset about 30-40
degrees is a bit more than I am familiar with.

Any help greatly appreciated.
