When you want to curve a piece of wood, steam bending is a practical way to preserve the wood's full strength and natural appearance.

Among the techniques you'll learn are how to select woods for bending, how to plan and build bending forms, how to make a steam box, and how to prevent compression and tension failures as you bend sticks as much as 90 degrees.
