Help with steaming on a stove?
« on: April 22, 2013, 07:18:12 pm »
Could someone give me a little info on steaming the tips of a flat bow (redoak) I'm going to do it over a pot on the stove! How long do I need to steam each tip?

I find 45 min to be enough. The thicker the wood the longer it will take. Use shellac on wood that will be steamed to help keep seasoned wood dry.
