Default Newbie trying to Steam Bend Oak 1" thick x 3" wide

snip---

Sounds like some pretty serious control of several aspects of the
process would be necessary. Don't think I could get better than one
foot radius with much consistancy on 1 inch thick oak with the setup I
have.



I can imagine a 12" Radius or possibly bending to a 24" dia.

Based on my test...I can not imagine a 1" radius though I read the
same in my research. Anyone have hands on?

thanks
