How to bend wood with steam
Bending wood with steam is like giving it a spa day until it's relaxed enough to twist into new shapes. First, you'll need to build or buy a steam box - think of a sealed container where steam can roam free without escaping. Get a steam generator or a kettle with a hose to pump steam into the box. Soak your wood in water overnight to make it more pliable. Once you've got your steam setup ready, put the damp wood in the steam box for about an hour per inch of thickness. Remember, patience is key! After a good steam, the wood will be flexible enough to bend into your desired shape. Strap it to a form to hold the shape as it cools and dries, and voila, you've reshaped wood with the power of steam!

Just steam it like veggies but for way longer. Make sure it's real hot and steamy, then bend it. Easy.
Honestly, steaming wood to bend it sounds like a lot of work and setup. Ever thought about just buying wood that's already the shape you need? Might save you a headache.
