Tom is the one infatuated by steam bending.  It took a couple of years to perfect the new process but it was well worth the wait.  Unlike the conventional process, the sixixis process can bend and manipulate any section of green (unseasoned) timber into any shape imaginable and accurately too!  The new process has given us complete creative freedom when it comes to woodwork, allowing us to draw a beautiful sketch straight from the imagination, and then bend it in wood using no nasty glues - only steam.
