How to Steam Bend Wood

steam bending kit

Getting wood to bend is easier than you might think with the Rockler Steam Bending Kit . After a good soaking and some time in our steam box, pieces can be easily bent and shaped over a form, and they harden up quickly, holding their shape permanently once dried. The kit includes all the hardware and fittings you need to get started—including a 1.3 gallon steam generator—plus a plan for building your own steam box with an internal rack of dowels for even steam distribution.
