John,
I usually prefer to use thinner sheets of plywood for bending, and layer
them to reach the desired thickness. Using this method you can have
compound curves in both directions. If you only need to bend in one
direction you can always run saw kerf's on the back side of the plywood
that will allow you to bend the plywood.
