: You might try one of the white cedars if you can get some to see if it works
: for you. I have steamed Atlantic and Eastern white and they seemed ok but
: probably wasn't going for quite as tight a bend as you need. In the end
: you could split the rib and laminate if all else fails.

Northern White Cedar is the wood of choice for it's steam bending qualities used in all wood and canvas canoes for ribs.
