It is a process that forces the woodworker to get to know a piece of wood very well. It\u00a0takes time\u00a0to develop the feel of how a piece of wood\u00a0responds to heat and pressure. For me, bending wood over a hot iron is\u00a0a fun puzzle. Starting at one end and conforming the piece of wood to fit into a shape.\u00a0This video is sped up so it doesn&#8217;t bore you to death, but in reality it takes me about 6-8 minutes to bend the cutaway\u00a0binding by hand. It then dries in a mold for a few hours to set its shape. You&#8217;ll see that I also put the wood and mold together on the pipe, this just further sets the wood to the mold.<\/p>\n<p><em>Thanks to Tony Richards for the beautiful Music!
