Next weekend I will attempt to steam and bend a 12' x 1-3/4" Round KD Mahogany Hand Rail that was laminated from two half round stocks. Based on everything I am reading, the odds are against me on a successful bend. This weekend I will be building the 14' Steam Box and ordering the Rockler Steam Bending kit and setting up the clamp form jig. Any tips from any steam bending experience (especially with Mahogany) would be greatly appreciated. Attached pics are of rail and located of stairs.
