Do you know how to bend balsa wood without destroying it? Even
the balsa wood is endowed with the flexibility, you need to be careful while you
need to bend it or shape the wood in a certain shape. The balsa wood is the
favourite material which could be used to make models. Compared with the metal,
it is more flexible. But unlike the metal which could be bent or circled as the
requirements, you would have to take a few steps to make the balsa wood more
flexible before bending it.

to changing the moisture contained in the balsa wood. Generally, the moisture is
spread uniformly in the wood. But while you heat some parts of the balsa wood,

attention to the distance between the wood and the fire. The space should not be
too close or you would burn the wood and it should not be too far or the heat
would not influence the moisture. With the decreasing of the moisture, the balsa
wood would bend itself to the suitable radian.
Another method to bend the balsa wood is soaking the wood into the certain
chemical liquid. There are several types of chemical liquids you could search on
the Internet. But I would not recommend you to choose this method. Although this
method is much easier and it is not in need of so much attention as compared
with the first method, the liquid may release some scents which will make you
comfortable. Besides, the balsa wood may be too soft while being over soaked by
the chemical liquid.
There is also other methods could be used to bend the balsa wood. For
example, you xzmbchlwd could just bend the wood and when you feel that the wood
will break, you could stop and try to bend again. This method is in need of none
material or methods, besides, it could attain the greatest degree of the
flexibility. But you need to pay much more time as compared with the last two
methods.
