Nice job on the tutorial Pearlie. Good pics. I have a hard time getting steady pics when I'm weaving from indulging in a tad bit of ale.  Danny

Stave, I wouldn't try to bend a board, no matter its grain. Some things are meant to bend at 90 degrees and some aren't.

Good eye man! I grabbed it out of my junk drum for a quick spacer.

Good lesson. Have you ever done anything similar with black locust? Do you know how it steam bends?

Air!

Do you used the canned stuff like you get for blowing the dust out of keyboards? Or do you make your own?  I make my own, but it stinks.
Haaa haa!  Crazy guy, that JDub. :laugh:

Without any sealer, do you not have problems with checking as it dries?

No sir. I use sealer when the bow is done, never prior.
