steam recurving question

  DRY HEAT ON SEASONED WOOD
  STEAM ON GREEN

Pappy:
That's kind of true,if you are using Osage and some other oily woods but if you plan of recurving white wood steam or boil is better,[for me]white wood don't bend that well, [Hard bend] with dry heat,at least in my experience. If you plan on bending static or even flip the tips pretty hard on most white wood with dry heat you should prepair yourself for a broke bow.Works sometimes and sometimes it don't. Steam takes a little longer but more consistent results. :)
