quick addition....the price of the 3/8 bendable plywood is around 45.00 dollars a sheet.....you can get it where it bends in the 8 foot direction or the 4 foot direction....this is from wurth products in the charlotte nc area....i feel sure you can find it closer to home....there's all the news that's fit for print...have a nice day!

you could also use wood veneers they are usually less than a 1/4 inch thick and are very bendable. If you buy a pine veneer it will most likely be cheaper than lets say oak or maple.
