Variable temperature and versatile bending radii

Bending Iron

Here's a well-made iron that's ideal for bending wet or steamed sidewood in the small shop. Crafted from 6-1/4" long cast aluminum, it features variable temperature control and a versatile shape allowing a wide variety of bending radii.

Tip: Bending wood successfully requires practice, and we recommend using stainless steel Side Bending Straps to support wood sides during bending. We offer inexpensive practice wood and free instructions to help you get started.
