What is Bendable Plywood?

Bendable plywood, also known as Curve-Ply, Flexply, Wacky Wood and Wiggle wood, bending plywood, is normally made out of hardwood imported veneers with the layers all running in one direction, this allows bend-ability to the panel and can be applied on a curved radius.

Bendable plywood is commonly used in wide variety of cabinet applications, curved furniture parts and fixtures such as displays in department stores, restaurants, commercial buildings and building of spiral stairways.

Often, Bendable plywood will be overlaid in a custom application with veneer, high pressure laminate, for finished columns or other rounded or curved radius surfaces.

Bending plywood comes in thicknesses of 3mm, 5.2mm, 9mm, and 15mm. Panels come in 4’x8′, 8’x4′, 10’x4′ (9MM Only) sizes.

Bending plywood is a great substrate for applying other species of veneers to obtain a smooth face for painting or staining.

The tightest diameter that can be achieved is around 15″, after that point the material will start cracking in the face.
