Ken, I just have to tell you that your tutorial came in very handy in my Splay Leg Table project. While working on another aspect of the build, I moved too fast and was not watching what I was doing and whacked the outside corner of one of the legs. This put a very noticeable dent right in the corner of the outside faces. Very upset was I, as planing or scraping it out would mess up the profile of the leg. I decided to try steaming it out as per your tutorial. A complication was that I had lightly shellacked the legs to prevent them from getting dirty. I was worried that it would prevent the steam from working. I should not have worried, as it worked perfectly! I just scraped the affected area to remove the damaged shellacked surface and level the slightly raised surface.
Thanks!
