Default Bending/twisting wood (was Bending Oak)

I have a project I'd like to try. It's fairly small, the pieces are no
longer that 10". I don't have the means (money) to build a steam box. The
"slats" are 1/8 - 3/16 thick by 2 - 3 inches wide. Questions a
1) What's the easiest wood to bend?
2) W/O a steam box, can I just boil the wood in a skillet?
3) For one of the projects, I need to put a 90 degree twist down the length
of the slat, can this be done?
4) What's the best finish to keep the wood from "unbending"?
