Plywood
Tortured plywood was originally a description of how Tornado catamarans were built by ‘torturing’ the thin plywood skins into shapes that were previously thought impossible for plywood. It was a very innovative way to build a beautiful round-bilge boat from sheet material. Some argue that there is no such thing as ‘tortured plywood’ because plywood cannot be bent into compound shapes no matter what method is used. That is their theory but science has proven over and over again that theories are there to be broken.
