I am adding a step to a step-down living room to cut a 9" rise into two 4.5" steps. I was looking at Flex Trim for the riser, but the description says 10" minimum bend radius. I aim to have a 6" radius curve.

What are the measurements for the whole thing? Depth of curve, width of step, etc – UnhandledExcepSean Oct 31 '22 at 14:05

Also, is concrete an option or are you looking for a wood/wood-like only solution? – UnhandledExcepSean Oct 31 '22 at 14:11

8' wide and 14-16" deep. It will be wood. White riser and oak step stained same color as the LR floor. – Chris Harrington Oct 31 '22 at 14:28

What part will have a 6" radius? Providing a sketch, even if not to scale, with the dimensions drawn on will help people come up with ideas for you. – FreeMan Oct 31 '22 at 15:39

Here's an example: https://www.stepupstair.com/products/8060-48-double-bull-nose-quarter-circle That one has a radius of 7" according to diagram. My step will be 78" wide and 14" deep and 4.5" tall. I know someone with a bunch of old oak from a barn. Another idea is to have two oak boards as base and a top board that overhangs. His boards are 2" and could be planed to 1.5". Three would give me my 4.5" – Chris Harrington Oct 31 '22 at 15:44

You will find your answer here, https://diy.stackexchange.com/questions/231705/how-can-i-bend-plywood-around-a-stair-riser The accepted answer here is what I was going to suggest, I was looking online for a picture to show what it looks like, and found one as a post here on SE. – Jack Nov 01 '22 at 02:53

The appropriate action, @Jack, would be VtC as a duplicate... – FreeMan Nov 01 '22 at 16:43
