Bending plywood, also known as flexible plywood, is a variation of plywood in which the veneer layers are glued in such a way where every layer runs in the same direction direction, specifically designed to be bent or curved without breaking. This is unlike the regular plywood in which the layers are glued in perpendicular to each other. It is made by layering thin sheets of wood veneer, which allows it to flex while maintaining strength and durability, giving the bending plywood higher flexibility, a characteristic that other plywood does not have. 

Key Features:

• Flexibility: Can be easily shaped into curves and arcs, making it ideal for applications like furniture, cabinetry, and architectural elements.
• Thin Layers: The layers are usually thinner than standard plywood, which contributes to its flexibility.
• Uses: Commonly used in curved surfaces, boat building, and creative design projects.

Bending plywood is often used where a curved surface is required, great choice for projects where a smooth, continuous curve is needed.
