How to bend pine molding around a corner

| Posted in Construction Techniques on

Hello all,

Newbie here so please excuse my mistakes if I should make any.

 

I am attempting to install primed pine base molding around a corner with a 2′ radius. 

What is the best way to achieve this?  Steam bending, laminating or other options?

I would appreciate a description on how to accomplish this .  I would also be interested in any links to this same information.

TIA,

Robert Beaver

    that's a tight radius. I would try laminations. If flat stock you could use bending ply or laminate layers of 1/8"

Prescriptive codes don't address the connection at less common angles, so base the connection off more typical ones using bolts, structural screws, blocking, and steel tension ties.
