just change the extension of the autocad file to .txt and attach it with a note that it is not infact a .txt file.

Tailgunner:

What I've done in the past is to grind 1/4" plywood down till I had enough flexibility to form the curve. I'd then build up the required thickness using layers of plywood. I had the plywood ground down at a cab shop. It cost me a six-pack to have it done. ;)

Jakobud:

You can also bend wood by soaking them in water or some liquid.  Lookup that Homemade Backyard Monorail that one guy made.  A lot of his track is bent wood that he did by just soaking the wood planks in a kiddie pool or something, then bending them and clamping them into a certain position for a while, then after a period of drying time, then stay bent in that same position.
