Skip this step if you prefer a less time-intensive approach, or if you are only creating slight bends. Beside above, can wood be curved? Curving wood can be wasteful at the industrial level. A new technique uses wood’s own natural process of warping to curve to a chosen angle. Warping is usually considered one of wood’s weaknesses, but the new method glues warping wood together as it controls the final shape it takes.What type of wood bends easily?Certain species of wood bend much easier than others as well. Essentially, the more open the grain, the easier it steams which makes sense as the steam can penetrate the open pores more easily. Of common woods, white oak is best, followed by red oak and beech.
