Flexible Wood Panels

[Cotton eyed Joe]

I thought I saw some sort of wooden panels, maybe around 1/4" thick, 2 foot square that had 3/16" deep grooves about every 1/8" or so both along and across the surface. This made the paneling flexible along both axis, and its (I think anyway) used for making custom fiberglass work and custom archways in sheet rock work, shit like that.

 

Anyone here know what I'm talking about, and more so, where I can buy some?

Saw them today actually. you can get them at Lowe's.

Lowes or Home Depot I believe, have what your looking for.

Holy shit.

 

 

Thanks. I've been looking in every industrial catalog I've got and found nothing. Even looked in a archetectural catalog that I get some of my ornamental iron parts from....zip.

 

I'll check the Lowes on the way home.

Ask at any cabinet shop in your area, they should be able to hook you up. If you have a table saw or circular saw, you can make your own if you can't find it. Depending on what you are making, there is also a bending ply about 3/8" think (it bends in certian direction-lengthwise or widthwise, so order/buy accordingly) that works really well. We usually will attach first layer, glue up and attach second layer with just staples, once glue sets up, it does the real holding. The second layer really smooths out things. All depends on what you are building.

Well...I'm looking at building a positive and negative for either CF or fiberglass. I really don't want to have some sheet metal rolled/folded, then me having to bondo the fuck out of it, smooth it and paint it.
