    Pretty Cool Business

    I have no affiliation with this place but thought that this might be helpful or at least fun to look at.

    Kinda wish I had not read this post

    Very interesting and it looks like it would be great for project that has been in the back of my mind for a while. I have a large Saman (Fijian Koa) carving from Fiji that should be displayed on a rotating base. This product would be perfect for creating a circular base.

    Popular Woodworking (I think) has an article in the current issue or on their blog about working with this stuff. Cold bend hardwood.
