cowboy:
Man, that all looks real good Pappy!! hey been noticing that steamer you have at the back of your form table. Do you use that before clamping all the time? how long do you steam? thanks.

Pappy:
Dana I thought he did. ;D ;D cowboy I use it all the time with Osage less than about 3 years
old,If it is older than that I use dry heat.It seems to help season it.I will get the worst of the problems with the steam and then tweak it with heat after that.I never steam them twice or old wood.I usually only use dry heat on my white wood unless I am bending something radical like
tips. :)

Pappy:  I'm glad Cowboy asked the question.  I've seen the pipe device in the background of several of your pictures but never knew what it was.  Now that I've looked closer, I see what you're talking about.  Can you elaborate on how it works?  It appears to be a hot plate with a pan (?) of water venting up to stove pipe.  Are the ends closed or open?

Also, I just have to add that I look forward to viewing your "Life is Good" thread, especially on Monday's.  It truly looks like fun, especially after spending my Labor Day in the Mall with the wife and daughters.  They humored me with a trip to Bass Pro Shop afterwards as consolation.  I love spending time with my family, but sometimes a spell in the Man Cave is needed to decompress.

Keep the pictures coming. 
Thanks

Otoe

cowboy:
Thanks Pappy - I'm gonna build one ;D.
