: Wow, thanks for the very complete--and near-instantaneous--reply! I had heard
: this stuff called "bender board" in a book, which was obviously
: wrong. "Bending plywood" it is. One question: wasn't the poplar
: a little, uh, "plain" for use in a boat? Mebbe email those pics?
: I'd love to see 'em. Thanks again!

Bender board is something totally different. We use bender-board ( redwood ) to outline flowerbeds and curved concrete areas. 3/8" x 4" or 3/8" x 8" for most of these uses. NOT what you are looking for. I'll try to set up an account on the Polaroidigital.com and put an album together and see what happens there. Wish I had my Web-Site running and loaded with my Walrus construction pics. Probably not till after the R2K1 meet as I'm too busy trying to get my boat done. I'll send you a couple via email first so you can see what's cookin.

Yes, the poplar was a bit plain, but I don't entend for most of it to show and I'm using pine for the rest of the frame anyway, so there's not much figure or color in the wood anywhere. Most will be covered up. More later......
