When I worked in boatbuilding most of the steaming was done with quarter sawn green timber.
The grain has to be aligned properly for bending.
The steam box used several immersion heater elements and the whole lot was lagged in hessian sacking. a health and safety nightmare
( except health and safety did not exist in this particular boatyard )
Laminating and using a decent glue is far more predictable.
