Things coming together

The burl veneer arrived. It is quite a bit darker than the picture on the store's website. But I'll make it work in my design. The boards meant to be bent are also milled and ready to go. I now have to decide how I'll be getting them to temperature.  Since they are fairly small (9" and 18"), I'm thinking that all that I'll need is to steam them in the oven in a large turkey roaster filled with a few inches of water. Making a steambox, and rigging a steam source (probably the camping stove) in -5C temperature doesn't sound too attractive at the moment.
