I'm new to the group - wood bending question
I'm about to try to make a bent elm "bucket seat" like this:
http://images.google.ca/imgres?imgur...%3Den%26sa%3DN I have the choice of standing timber or air dried unsawn log as the source of my wood. Which is best? How dry does it need to be before I can thickness plane it to 3/8"? How hard will it be to bend to roughly 9" radius? Any suggestions??? Thanks. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

People spend years learning steam/pressure woodbending to get it right. Luckily for you, just about any search engine will overwhelm you with page after page of information. For example: http://tinyurl.com/3dr6w2 or http://tinyurl.com/356nth Good luck! Robert |
