This so sweet Kiefer!
Very different from anything I have seen before.
The last time I tried steam bending with the microwave I failed dramatically with a lot of breakage.
I was using small 1/8 strips to make an inlay on the sides of a side table. The radius of the turn was 1.5" I got the same results with 1/16…

From your experience which wood is more suitable to use with microwave steam binding?

Where do you buy your white aspen?
