Today we also prepared our side woods for bending... we made one edge smooth and flat, traced the pattern and cut it out... and tomorrow we will get to bend them. What you see in the picture is a form and press with a heat blanket. The wood is sprayed with water, wrapped in tin foil, and then the blanket is heated up and the wood is pressed onto the form. I expect we will do some additional bending by hand on a bending iron... but this will get it roughed into shape.
