Panels
The Kerfkore Co. now offers Timberflex bendable panels in 1/2 in., 5/8 in., and 1/4 in. thicknesses. Available in 4 ft by 8 ft and 8 ft by 4 ft panels sizes, Timberflex can bend to a 5- in. radius and features a ready-to-paint three-ply Italian poplar face. Kerfkore says Timberflex offers advantages over conventional bending methods because: there is no veneer checking or telegraphing; sanding, patching and laying up plywood is eliminated; dips, valleys and hard spots are not present on the surface, so patching and sanding is unnecessary; and Timberflex does not “spring back.”
