My first project that is made from a micro wave steam bending process .
A handle design that will possibly find it’s place on the lid of my steam bend box .
I did this design on paper but can much better visualize it on the box when finished .
Woods are douglas fir and roasted maple .

Nice handle. You are getting good at that bending process. Now that is outside the box!!
I just have to ask you if there is a real wood called roasted maple or is that because it was “roasted ” in the microwave???????..................Jim

I had to go back and check your bending jig, bad memory at work here. These are great looking handles, and
could be attached on any of the four long sides, depending on the look and design of the drawer or box they
are attached too, they could even be used in pairs. Great way to let your imagination roam. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks to you all.
Jim the roasted maple is heat treated maple that I get locally and comes in different colors from a medium brown to dark brown when oiled .
There is a lot of info on this on the net if you search for heat treated wood .
Benjamin you ask about the bending method ,Here is the link to the post where I show the process.

Dusty I am thinking about that and any suggestions are welcome.
Gus The uses are endless and that is the fun part ,once you start playing with a design it just keeps going.
Dwight and Jamie I cant wait either but patience is what it takes here !
Jay Thanks
Roger and Douglas _Yes David had a great idea for this and I already have another for this ,Something to do with votives .
