>>81176i know of two ways of bending wood.
a) heat forming (heat up then bend it and let it cool
b) water forming (soak it in water then let it dry in the desired shape)
you need to do it multiple times to achive the shape you want.
fill the hollow tube part with sand to spread the load, and maintain the inside shape.
this site has some videos to give you the basic idea.
