I've tried a bunch of stores like Michael's, the various big box home stores and some wood supply shops but haven't been able to find anything that I can use. Ikea actually has a serving tray that I previously used (

I don't think it is super difficult, just more technical.
The only bend I ever completed was with three strips of 1/4 mdf. I had to do a bunch of kerf cuts to get the mdf to bend. Then I laminated them together over my form.
I did two of these and then joined them with a butt joint to achieve the oval.

I have no preference for wood type. Anything that would bend nice and easily. I may have to try some bent lamination one day.
