In Response To: Ribs and coamings (Brian Nystrom)

: Walnut is supposed to steam bend nicely. Although I wouldn't want to convert
: an entire tree to rib stock, I would certainly try bending some. If you
: saw it into rib stock, you can use it immediately, or air dry it for a few
: days. Wood cut to 1/4" thickness dries very quickly.
Thanks Brian NM
