Cold bendable wood

This wood can be bent without steaming because it has become flexible thanks to a special production process. Fresh green solid wood blanks are plasticised in steam, compressed along their length for about 20% and subsequently dried in this compressed form. This material can be worked like normal wood and subsequently bent in a cold (no heating) and dry (no steaming or wetting) condition. Elevated moisture content (12%) is recommended for easy bending.
