Though expensive white oak is best, hard to find. Boulter has some. You can fab a wooden steam box. The oak still has to be sawn into somewhat managable dimensions for bending and the grain should run the right way.
Any way if you build a steam box and find a 55 gallon drum for a water drum. Some guys have old furnace burners to heat under the drum making a stacked brick stand to contain the flame. Eventually this makes steam and hose it to your steam box.
This is allot to go thru to do what you need. You can also just lay out what you need and have a sawn "bend", like a sawn frame instead of bending.
I think CS idea seems good low budget. This is all under deck and not a piece of finish work.
