Introduction to Cold-Bend Hardwood - WOOD magazine

Bending wood couldn’t be easier than this. Cold-Bend hardwood literally bends in your hands, with no special tools or equipment needed. WOOD magazine’s Vince Ancona demonstrates how to cut and bend wood around a form to make shapes you never thought possible.

I would also ask if we can make stream bending wood instead of cold bending, are we getting same result ?

Interesting. That's something I've never heard about before.

hello ....is this method depends on the type of wood, or it can be applied on any type ?

It looks like almost all the wood you would find in a big box store.

Doesn't it screw up the look of the grain when it's compressed like that?

LOL - cold bend hardwood... that's been steamed. =)

Opps...I have some of there wood. It is amazing 👏. I think hard woods work better. I soak my wood in water then make my bends.

But...the question is not how to tie a knot with a prepared hardwood. The question is how to prepare it for being so flexible??? What does 'cold bend hardwood' mean??? Every sane person knows how to tie knots with a flexible strip of anything.
