I made a steam chest last week as it happens. Steamed some ash and had fun twisting it 180 degrees along its length as a demo to our 2nd year furniture students.
Those legs are laminated however.
Laminating is straightforward in theory but you need to be able to get good clamping pressure not just around the bend itself, but also along the flat sections, else it’ll have voids and be weak.
The hardest part is making the former(mould) and without a decent former that’s consistently flat on its surface, you’ll again get low pressure voids and have a weak laminate.
For a simple bend like that, you may even be able to use two lengths of 4×2 with a curved block glued in the corner to take it around the 90 degrees (If it’s 90 degrees obvs) using ratchet straps and g-clamps.
This video explains it pretty well.

If you get stuck, I could do it for you I’m sure.
Cascamite is good for veneering and laminating as it sets very rigid.
