I am told for bending in order of best to worst:

green wood, air dried, and then kiln dried.

Since boat wood and some furniture wood is steamed and then bent, I suspect that heat does not affect wood as much as people claim.

Paschale, I have been using your method for years. I didn't think da bugs really cared weather they hitchhiked in on boards or firewood.


Well, Chet...it was you who gave me the idea in the first place, at the Piggy Roast this summer.   ;D  So my method is the Chet method, and this winter's the first I've tried--it seems to be working out alright.   ;D
