Great you caught this on camera - the snath is so much thicker than a chair component...but of course also longer so more leverage!

[@dr.radical3426]

Is the wood a sapling or a radial sawed shaped pole?

[@djinjis]

how long do you steam the wood?

[@javanbybee4822]

around 20 minutes works for me, 30 is around the most

good video

[@trollingc.1132]

Hello, do you know the kind of wood they use for bending snath ?

[@juansebastianestrada3992]

Looks great. Will this type of snath work for an american scythe? How is the pattern (dimensions and proportions) for the curvature designed to fit the user?
