I tried a forum search, didn’t turn up much other than these:
Same results when I tried it weeks ago. I wasn’t at all happy with the details OR the flexibility of the material. I was used to the Maple Veneer and have really gotten great results with that. But I love Walnut and really wanted a darker wood. The Maple seems to bend as much as I will it to. The Walnut is really brittle and seems to crack when bent even a little bit.
Semi Inspired by the following project
I had been wanting to do something similar, but for my water bottle. When you have a Glowforge, these sorts of projects are made simple!

I had cut a strip of veneer as a test with a tropical print on it for another project and had just started playing with it and thought it might look good as a grip for my lid, and I really like the way it came out!

A “living hinge” type of cut on the corners would probably help you get it around the tight spots. I have no idea what wetting / steaming would do to the backing!
