Re: 30ft workshop yurt build (9 meters)
I have steam bent wood for shaker boxes, and supported my father in the past as he is a woodworker on various projects.
PVA Glue such as the brown Gorilla Glue works very well with wet or even soaked wood. If it were me I would skip the steam, and just go with submersion in boiling water. You would get much better results on the bend, and if you use PVA glue it will glue up great with many clamps around your form.
It will foam like crazy and be pretty messy, but I think you will find you would make a bullet proof ring. I would belt sand it after to knock down the glue, and you'd have the strongest Tone ring in the country.
Just be contentious to not glue the wood to the form!
