: I thought about using some bondo to transition the fabric edges to the wood
: for a nicer appearance. I've not used bondo before, is it flexible enough
: to resist cracking chiping or would there be a better material for this
: pupose.

Stay away from Bondo. It is not flexible, and will crack quite easily. I have found that it is not flexible enough for most automotive repairs - and that's what it's made for. So I hate to think of the results of using it on something designed to be flexible.
