Bending Plywood

Bending plywood—often called flexi-ply or bendable plywood—is a specially manufactured plywood designed to curve easily without cracking. Unlike standard plywood, it has a core made of thin, uniformly flexible veneers with the grain running in a single direction, this allows the sheet to bend smoothly.
