I am afraid 3/4" plywood doesn't take a bend very well even when wet.

And the wood is not allowed to extend past the corner of the frame.

Where did you find this? The only part I see is <R08>N which says the "Hard" part may extend a maximum of one inch from the BUMPER PERIMETER. I don't see anything about corners.
