[Cob] curved bond beams

[Moore, Randy]

Hi Mitch,
 
Check out:  http://www.solidwoodbending.net/
 
If you really want wood, bending it isn't all that difficult, and if you're just doing 2 2x4's as John suggests for a seismically resistant beam, it should be even easier.  You should see some of the magnificent pieces of solid oak old wooden boat builders used to bend for their craft!
