I am trying to bend wicker around a radius for use in furniture. I followed the advice of the folks at Franks Cane and Rush here in So Cal with mixed results. They said to soak the wicker in water for 2 days and then bend it. After taking its shape let it dry for 3 days. Lets just say that even though I made a cylindrical mold and put the wicker inside of it, the curvature was not consisent (it has good curves followed by little elbows)

I need some tips, anyone know where to get info?

Thanks
