When the wood doesn't want to bend all the way, what you can do is get it to a position you feel comfortable with, and then leave it alone for at least a couple hours. The ply will "relax" a little and let you finish off any tight twists. Swamp Girl does have a couple of tight twists but with the 1st experiment I did with the lower panels, it came out ok with cheap wood. I then backed off on the amount of twist in the design and sent it to Chuck to build.

And even HE managed to get it right. :mrgreen: :lol:
