Hi all,
I made this sculpture for Pete the Monkey Festival before covid.
I was thinking of rebuilding it this July but this time using some flexible wood slats, something like this
This may be poplar but not sure, does anyone know where I could source this?
I haven’t got anything useful to add, but wow that monkey sculpture is awesome!
Those strips look like separate layers that make up plywood. You’d use them to lay up eg. custom curved plywood structures for furniture. But I can’t figure out how to google for that without being shown loads of results for regular plywood sheets.
Hey Clem, I was thinking you could look into flooring, but that wouldn’t work because of the T&G, but your best bet would just be a 1-2mm veneer. There are plenty results on Google, depends on what species you want to use and the cost. Alternatively, you buy a standard sheet and create the veneers yourself.
Perhaps someone here has experience buying veneers.
If you google flexible or bendy plywoo, that’s Emma to get the best results
Thanks guys for the ideas
