Bentwood Oak Chair
My first steam-bent project: a dining chair with a single curved back rail.
The back rail was steamed for an hour per inch of thickness and clamped over a plywood form for a week. Joinery is all mortise-and-tenon, drawbored with oak pegs.
What I’d do differently
Sharpen more often, measure twice, and leave the finish until the next morning instead of rushing it at midnight.
