My Next Project - worse than the last?
#13

Nice work so far. Just a suggestion...if you have a soup pot large enough to place the cabinet in try steaming the wood before attempting to bend it back. Put about a half inch of water in the pot, then a pie plate to keep the cabinet from coming in contact with the water. Add the cabinet and slowly bring the water to a slow boil with the lid on the pot. Ten or so minutes should rehydrate the wood so it will flex easier. Take care, Gary
