I have to say that I find cypress has a real tendency to spring back, more so than rosewood Hi Aaron. Long time no see. I totally agree. I have a bending machine, but I always final bend by hand just before assembly in ordre to make the fit perfect and thus eliminating stress in the construction. Cypress needs to be final bended a lot because of the springback whereas rosewood normally maintain its shape quit well. I prefer to leave the sides of a flamenco 2,3 - 2,4. I think it gives better proyection. On a classical I give it 2,6 - 2,7 for the same reason
