Just go to you local (non-borgs) plywood supplier and ask for "wacky-wood".
Its usally luan plywood where the grain runs the same direction on each ply.

Fun Stuff!

I was flipping through the Nov. '04 issue of Fine Homebuilding today
(killing time and it was on a coffee table) and came across an article
about building cabinets with curved doors. Scanning through it, the
author/cabinetmaker said he made the doors out of 1/8" "bending
plywood" over a form and then veneered them.

Earlier in the day I had been rolling an idea over in my mind that
called for bent laminations and this article seemed to suggest a
possible material.

Has anybody ever heard of "bending plywood"? Is this a particular
product engineered with more flexibility for this purpose? If I go to
my plywood specialty dealer (and I do have one near home) and ask for
"bending plywood" will I get anything more than a blank stare?

Thanks for any insights.
