Default Steaming wood

Hi,
I need to make some porthole liners for a barge and I was thinking of
steaming some wood strips. Size is approx 1.15m long - it is a 0.381m
diameter porthole - 60mm wide and 6 - 8 mm thick. I was thinking of
using mahogany or similar dark hard wood.

Can I bend steamed mahogany to this radius?? - or any other
suggestions??
