Ammonia to make wood flexible?

Has anyone here tried using ammonia to "plasticize" wood? In this case not meaning impregnating the wood with plastic, but making the wood bendable.

A friend told me about this and it looked fascinating. Here is an article that describes it:

It would be worth an experiment to see if:
1) it works
2) it changes the color of the wood dramatically
3) if it affects the ability to glue-laminate strips together when they dry.

It might be an alternative to steam bending. Worth an experment.
