Hi, LEPA!

I just titled and moved your question that you had posted as a response to someone else's really old question to a new thread so that your question will get noticed as being your own. This place doesn't work the same way that a chat site does. So, if someone wants to post a new question that's not a reply to the original question at the very top of the page, it's best to be starting a new thread.

Concerning your question, and I'm searching through my memory of long ago here, in my experience, you would go about bending the wood by soaking it for a very long time in water that also has some linseed oil in it is how you go about doing that. The linseed oil will help to keep the wood flexible.

Thanks!
