Andy Culpepper -> RE: Problems bending Indian rosewood sides (Jul. 18 2010 19:24:56)

Interesting. John, thanks. The wood came in in '07 and was already kiln dried from LMI. Seems like it should have been cured? I do spray the sides down with a little water, not dripping or even quite wet everywhere. Stephen, the way I usually bend is, I heat it on the form for about 20-30 mins., then let it cool completely and cook it again for another 10-20. I always have the blanket under the wood. After the first one came out rippled, I tried soaking both sides in "Supersoft", this stuff we had lying around that's supposed to make things bend easier. Then I put them both back on the bender and did my usual routine on both. The one that was still unbent when I put on the Supersoft came out quite a bit better than the first but it still had some ripple (it was the players side luckily). I also recooked the already bent one but it came out unchanged. I guess in the future I will just give it longer to sit on there....
