Cris, yes. You could use this method to bend wood into a circle.

im not doing a balsa wood bridge project ( did it already) but is this also useful way for making the wood bend into a shape of a circle?

My arch will require me to glue my popsicle sticks together before I bend it. Will this work?

Hey Garret,

Can you post a picture or blueprint of the bridge. I would love to try it out

Some notes from round 1 bending:
Tried steaming long pieces over jelly roll pan of water in oven, but even covered didn’t get enough steam. (Was covered with 2nd pan.)
Finally steamed on two stove burners.
One piece had gotten wet and was the most pliable.
When we tried clamping to nails used for the form, the balsa squished.
Another piece was not all the way steamed and bent. I think it would have not bent if we put the bending stress over more points and fingers.

Hope this helps others trying this.
