Finally finished this project. My first attempt at steam bending. Bending the pieces wasn't a problem, but the twisting was another story. Had to make 6 pieces since 2 of my first attempt split beyond repair. Twisted only 180 degrees. I may make something else with steam bending, but I doubt if I will try the twisting again. The base is walnut that has been in my shop for years waiting on the right project. The bent twisted uprights are white oak.

Very nice design and original! I really like it. 8)
The bent/twisted design is what most of my projects come out looking like even though I didn't intend them to be bent/twisted. :lol:
