: You can bend softwoods. The trick is don't steam it, but rather just pour hot
: water (at or near boiling) directly onto the wood as you bend it. I did
: this for a cockpit coaming with white pine and cedar. It worked fine. Not
: one single crack.

That works, but there's a real limit to the radius of the bend you can get doing it that way.
