Re: [VACList] Wood bending...

vertical cuts on the hidden side of the valence piece rendering it
flexible... or you could use oak veneer glued onto the original piece.

the steam process involves a 'form' over which the heated piece is bent, and
held in position until it 'sets'. usually the piece is bent further during
forming since it will have a tendency to spring back a little when it
dries/cools.
