I don't know how to bend wood but I used to create art with wood and it's expensive -- quality wood, drill, electrical saw, sander and other electrical equipments, glue, dust masks, paint, varnish...the list goes on.
Your garage will smell toxic -- and all the smell and dust would be unhealthy (that's part of the reason I quit). And I'm sure the chemicals required to bend wood would be even more toxic.
Also, after spending so much resource and time into creating something, it may turn out to be a major mistake/dud -- and depending on the size, could be a pain in the neck to get rid of.
For me, I much rather buy furniture then make them -- cheaper and less time-consuming. Ikea is kind of inexpensive -- and buying used at estate sales/garage sales is cheaper.
