Instead of a steam bath to soften the lingum bonds in the wood, this guy uses ammonia. It essentially does the same thing - disrupts the hydrgogen bonding between the lignum structures to temporarily soften the wood, but the reults are freaking cool. I don't have any experience steam bending wood, but from what I've heard/read, this process seems to get the wood more playable, more easily, with less spring back.
In the video he gets some success bending 3/8" walnut around about a 6" diameter, which is pretty impressive. I think this would definitely work for snares, no matter how thick the shell. Easy.
Guru Ammonia Series?? lol

Seriously cool way to bend wood (SCIENCE. YEA!)
