Teak (Tectona grandis) wood in solid form was investigated on its steam bending properties. The effect of four levels of moisture content and also the effect of four steaming periods were evaluated. Both the moisture content and steaming period were found to influence the bending properties significantly. A 30-minute steaming has been found adequate for satisfactory bending of 1.27 cm thick wood. At 60-minute steaming the wood was sufficiently plasticized to enable it to be bent at a sharp angle
