Myrl,

No I've not done the blossoms yet. They will be the last thing to go on just before glassing the deck. I went out after my previous post about the steaming and hit a couple of garage sales to find a cheap tea kettle and then a quick trip to Home Depot for some PVC pipe and acc. to make a steamer tube. My neighbor gave me a piece of diamond mesh that I cut into thin 1 in. wide pieces
to make a raised rack inside the 1 & 1/4 PVC and started steaming the 1/8 x 1/4 pieces of walnut. About 15 min. of steam and they bent beautifully.
