I'm dumb like that a lot, though usually such over-reaches involve $$ inexpensive projects...

as in: my current project - making a japanese laminated bamboo longbow.
I'm planing and shaping the individual bamboo slats as I recover from my illness, all the time wondering "Now how the HELL am I going to lay this stuff up during lamination???"

I know how Norm Abram would do it. What's wrong with his technique?

Basically, cut the curve you want in a piece of plywood, place the planed strips in the kerf, and clamp. If one piece of plywood is not sufficient, duplicate the cut on additional pieces, and make an assembly.

You might want to use wax paper, aluminum foil, or plastic to keep the glue from sticking to the plywood.
