Everyone playing along without communication or dropping the ball. Couldn’t have lictured it going this long. No luck so far for him, but he was persistent. Lunch time, he goes and wakes up my foreman and asked him.. Not a good idea. He blew up on him, “they’re fucking with you, moron!” We got chewed out, he never showed back up for his next shift, on the road work mind you, he left and drove something like six hours home.

It's honestly ugly. He didn't show the fold, it's not pretty. Normally, to do this you start with a soft wood then steam it for a long time, gently shape it, then steam it some more, shape it some more, until it's taken on its final shape, after which you then need to kiln dry it again Cutting it like this is the DIY method, but it has zero strength and looks god awful from the side
