Ash laths cooling in a steam bending jig. The bent laths are used to produce the curved walls of the Start yurts.

Ash laths are heated in a steam box until they become very flexible. They are then placed in these bending jigs and allowed to cool. The resulting permanently bent laths are then used to produce the curved walls of the Start yurts.
