Bendy ply is a structural cross grain plywood available exclusively at brothers Steel Company. It is constructed using selected sheets of Fuma Specie veneer laid up in A grade cross or long grain panels with one centre veneer running lengthwise or crosswise. Exceptional flexibility is obtained from the special open grained nature of Fuma Specie which allows the veneer on the outer curve to expand and the inner curve to compress. The use of appropriate thermosetting type glues also assists the flexibility.

Bendy Ply is easy to use and offers practically no resistance to bending. Lined, with a second piece, it will keep its given shape. Though it may be used structurally on a job site where it can be screwed, glued or nailed, the use of industrial moulds to shape it remains the favoured technique. This technique allows unlimited production of identical items (mass produced chair backs, for example). A cylindrical mould with belt clamps is used for the production of columns. For all other curved or undulating forms, a mould, combined with a system of clamps or a screw-press or hydraulic press may also be used.
