Default bending wood

1. place wood in a length of pipe
2. stuff a rag in one end
3. feed steam from a kettle into the other end (hose normaly used here)
4. steam until soft

sorry, I don't have the length of time for steaming 1x1 mahogony.
you could try a search of www.google.com under "steam bending" but someone
who knows will probably post the information here.
