The message <MPG.2297b8f94abf2c10989...@news.individual.net>
from Dave Budd <dave.b...@manchester.ac.ku> contains these words:

Sorry, with ply you don't. You start with veneer and /make/ curved ply.

Well, sort of. There's a bodge - you can kerf several layers of thinner
ply - slice /nearly/ through them so they're bendy. Then you can
laminate them yourself to molish a thicker ply, but it won't be so
strong.

Were you to make your own, you can make a former by whatever means you
like and then lay up the veneer (ply will do if it's thin enough) and
then shove it in a plastic bag and connect it to the vacuum cleaner. The
sharper the curve, the thinner the layers have to be.
