    You can buy curved MDF, it's had cuts put in to make the bend.

    Searching also led me to Pinterest and I don't know whether to thank you or dislike you, my purse is swaying towards dislike!
    🤣🤣 

    My biggest frustration with Pinterest has been that there's lots of amazing stuff but it's either old links, only the image, or American! 

    If I could buy the above - at a 'reasonable' price - it's not like I wouldn't consider it... but I'm going to have fun playing I think. 

    I dare not go back in for another look 🙈

    There are plenty of YouTube videos saying how to bend wood, not all have the roller / bendy machine and it would be fun, doing it yourself and seeing the end result in your home.

    You do know we will want to see it when it's done 😁
    Assuming I don't get banned before then... I spend too much time in DT for my own good - hence looking for a project to keep me out of trouble :D 

    ETA: anyone know what's bendier 'out of the box' - flexible MDF or 3mm ply? 
    That sounds like a classic case of premature extrapolation.
