I've tried but never succeeded.
I believe it has to do with the way teak is harvested and grain structure. In an old Fine Woodworking, I've read that teak is dried by girdling the tree while standing, air dry, than cut. It is very hard to properly steambend dry wood.
Usual steam time is 1h00 per inch, quickly take out of the steam and bend around jig build to replicate intended radius (some spring back will occur) clamp or tie and allow to dry. Leave in mold until moisture read less than 10% moisture.
