How to bend the moldings? Water or steam will allow most wood to bend, and is especially effective with oak. One simple rig is simply to take a large PVC drain pipe, block off on end and then either stand it up or lean it on an angle that will allow you to fill it with water and then slide in the molding.
How long do you have to soak wood to bend it?
They have to soak the wood in water to bend it and get it into a certain shape. To efficiently make the wood bendable, it’s recommended that you soak the wood in relatively hot water for one to three hours. Many other factors can change this, but one to three hours will work for most wood types.
What is the easiest way to bend wood?
All you need is a table saw, circular saw, or radial arm saw. To bend wood with kerf cuts, adjust the saw blade so that it will cut all but the last ⅛- to 3/16-inch of material. Then, make cut kerfs across the board every ½ inch or so (keep these cuts evenly spaced for best results).
