roasted hard maple

Jim -- I hear you ... I typically use Unibond (plastic resin) for any bent lamination work regardless of whether it's indoor or outdoor, because of the long open time and the lower probability of creep. If I do end up trying a test bend at some point, I'll let everyone know how it goes ... or doesn't!

I hope you'll post a thread if and when you test it, Tim. Torified wood is being marketed for outdoor use pretty heavily by one of my suppliers and it would be interesting to see how you make out.
