    If you can't find it locally, http://www.aitwood.com/.

    Unlike standard plywood, bending plywood can easily be rolled up for shipment, so mail-ordering it isn't as crazy as it might seem.

    Jamie, thanks for the info. I am surprised that they did not show up on my Google search. They have what I need.

    If you ever get over to the Colorado Springs side of the hill, C/O Lumber and Hardwood stocks a bunch of that stuff.

    Bending plywood is easy to bend, right? How do you make it not bend after you build something with it?

    my plan to "stiffen it up" is to put a layer of backer veneer between two sheets as well as the veneer to the two faces. the faces will have backer veneer between them and the bending plywood.

    Thanks for the heads up on CO lumber. I'll give them a call.
    Enjoy the journey,

    Martin
