laminate knee techniques please!
 
hi, I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me with a method or website to create laminate knees, I have some mahogany as the back bit of the knee then i have alternate mahogany, ash laminate strips,
do i need to steam the laminate strips to form the required shape or can i clamp the laminate strips to the mahogany backing piece cover it in epoxy and let it set in that position?

Many thanks
jamie

I think it would help if we knew how big the knees were to be, how small
of a radius you will be bending to, and how thick the strips are. Do you
have a steamer you can use without much trouble?
