Been working on bending tests of different types of readily available hardwood. I’m fortunate enough to get my bending oak directly from a sustainable forester here in Oregon, but most builders will be restricted to the stock at their local shop. I’m getting interesting results, hopefully this will let me make broader recommendations when it comes to sourcing bending stock in different parts of the world. Next building challenge: make a canoe only from wood sourced from Home Depot.
