Wood Bending Made Simple [With DVD]

By Lon Schleining

Discover how easy it is to bend wood with steam and lamination techniques.

Wood bending has long fascinated woodworkers, but many have found it intimidating or inaccessible--until now. In this highly visual and practical guide, expert Lon Schleining breaks down the process into simple, achievable steps using affordable tools and straightforward methods.

With clear explanations and step-by-step photos, you'll learn how to master both steam bending--where heat and moisture make wood pliable--and bent lamination, where thin strips are glued and shaped around forms.

Whether you're crafting furniture, curved moldings, or artistic pieces, this book gives you the confidence and know-how to incorporate elegant curves into your woodworking projects.
