Steamed and bent these two long chests , one red cedar and one yellow cedar . My friend Bruce Alfred encouraged me to make a steamed and bent cradle rattle , I had a good look at one he had made now we will see how mine turn out !

Laid this 12 faced box out this morning ! Got it all prepped up for bending , had to leave my shop for an hour and 45 min I still got it steamed and bent . Started with the small bends first and things went a lot smoother #steambendingwoodboxes #steambendingwood #12facedbox #artstudio #artforsalebyartist #vancouver #britishcolumbia #canada #missionbc #squamishnationartist https://www.instagram.com/p/B0ZyanSgCfM/?igshid=t7knwfp95bs1
