In Response To: Material: Bendable Hardwood? (Steve Bartlett)

I haven't used it, but it looks interesting. One limitation might be that the shape is "set" by drying the bendable hardwood, the drying time is not given on the website and it could involve delays that are unacceptable for some builders, compared with steaming or laminating. Long term stability - especially when wet - could also be a concern. Someone needs to try it!
