Is it possible to bend 3/16" cherry into a 3" radius? I have never done any steam bending so if it is possible how long does 3/16" wood need to be steamed prior to bending?
Thanks, Tom

Thanks, I figured it would be difficult to do. The pieces would be 3/16 by 1/2" and coiled like a spring.

Try it and see

I was hoping that someone had some experience and could give me yes or no answer. So I guess the worst thing that can happen is I break a small amount of cherry. If I don't get any other info I will try. May be a week or so to set up a small steam box.
