I would like to make a shepherd's crook as a gift to my Pastor.  Any suggestion on type of wood and how to bend the crook so it doesn't snap ?

I know you're supposed to split the wood down the grain with an axe and not with a saw.  There are several videos on youtube that explain it.  Also a very good episode on "the New Yankee Workshop" where steam bending is featured.

Thank you. Thats a start. I will check out you tube. :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright:

I have done a little steam bending and ash steams and bends really nice. Most of your wood frame snowshoes are ash for that very reason

Maybe I can scout for a young ash sapling when I'm turkey scouting.
