I need to steam bend some 5/8" thick (by 8" wide by about 6' long)) teak planks. They are, of course, kiln dried.
Has anyone got any tips? Should I leave them to soak in brine bath for a days prior to steaming? Does the usual 1 hour per inch rule apply? Will it be easier to laminate 2 x 5/16" planks together?
I would usually be tempted to experiment and make a lot of firewood in the process, but teak aint cheap!
All advice much appreciated.
