I have a customer that wants me to build him a wooden slide with a bend in it at the bottom. While it's not quite a spiral it's still more then just a straight shot. I am thinking of making ribs out of plywood kind of like a boat and then laminating bending plywood inside the ribs to make the trough. Don't know how I will finish off the outside yet.

Inside mold, stringers, cold molding. Just search for "cold molded boats (https://www.google.com/search?q=cold+molded+boats)" on google and that will start your journey.

Ya, that's pretty much what I was thinking but I have told the client this is way over my head considering I have never attempted this process. I am hoping I can find someone familiar with this process that would be willing to help me with it so that way the client gets what he wants and I get the valuable learning experience.
