[VACList] Wood bending...

[Jeffrey Engle <bedheads@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In our 77 Sovereign, center bath, there is a curtain valence that is 
vinyl covered metal.
  ya with me? In the living room area, two straight sections. One on the 
drivers side of the coach and one on the passenger side over the single 
window beside the door. Still with me?
	A few months ago, I got the nifty Idea to cover the vinyl part with 
an 1/8th inch thick piece of oak and attach with small rivets. (if you 
need pictures, I can get you some) The end product looks really nice and 
goes well with all the other oak goodies in the front room area. Now 
that i've got you somewhat caught-up, here's the problem at hand.
	I would like to do the same thing in the bedroom but, as you 
already know, the "Valence" wraps around the tail causing a rather 
difficult problem. HOW to bend two pieces of 1/8th inch thick x 4ft. 
5in. long x 2 5/8 in. wide oak strips to match the "curve" without 
breaking them in the process! any feedback is appreciated.
