Default bending wood - mahogany's tough

How can i bent wood on a simple way.

example: I want to bent mahony 1 inch by 1 inch and 30 inch long pretty
far.

Any ideas


I've tried steam bending mahogany and even at 3/8" x 1" with good grain
orientation, it doesn't bend well. I doubt that you'll be able to bend
your thicker stock to any significant degree. A better approach would be
to cut 1/8" or thinner strips and laminate them into the shape you want.

You could possibly try ammonia bending, but I have no idea if it will
work with mahogany.
