Has anyone here tried applying JVC's breakthrough in making wood-cone
speakers to other wood work? You soak the wood in sake to make it
flexible. Apparently it's not just the alcohol but something else in
sake. A little bit of information on this is at
http://www.newscientist.com/opinion/...sp?id=ns243699
but hardly a set of instructions for how to do it yourself. Depending
on the size of the piece it might be much more expensive than steam, but
it sounds like it must work better.
