Steam Bending Plywood
Well.......
I bent and glued in the first layer of the 1.5mm finnish birch. Didn't
even have to steam it, just bent it around my buck. Today I am going
to do a couple layers of chopped glass mat, and maybe the outer skin.
I did test a chunk of the birch, submersing it in hot water. VERY
flexible, I bent it to about a 2 inch radius.
Cut the birch to shape using a utility knife. Was afraid that a saw
would have ripped it to pieces.
