Looking for advice on bending and cutting silicon bronze

| |

Hello
I'm a new member (15 min ago) but have enjoyed reading posts on this site for some time. I am a furniture designer / builder working on a sculptural furniture project using 1/8" silicon bronze sheets (c65500). I have very little experience working with this stuff apart from some small castings for an antique sailboat. I was wondering it is possible to make small cuts (16" max) in the 1/8" sheet with a jigsaw or a low-speed circular saw made for metal with a blade for non-ferrous metals. Would work-hardening be too much of a problem?
