I'm going to be bending some moulding that is "V" shaped, and was wondering if this can be done without a strap. I don't see how a strap could be used, as this moulding is a "v" in crossection.
It's red oak, and at the tall part of the "v" it's 3/8" thick, and 3/4" wide. The pattern is attached. The one less sharp sharp curve is what I want to end up with, while the one with a tighter radius is what I'm planning to use as my form. The end product doesn't need to be perfectly the same as the less sharp cuve, but just in the ballpark. The curve is 14" long, and 6-5/8" in height. Do you think my ratios are pretty good? I'm guessing steam bending this piece shouldn't be a problem, seeing how small it is.
