I'm about to bend some Zebrawood and will be the first time I bend Zebrawood sides with a cutaway.... so before I do it the same way I did the other times, I rather ask before I take any chances  . besides, this one will be a venitian style with a sharp bend 
Any input? Thanks

This isn't that bad to bend. You will want some heat so keep a spray bottle handy and don't let the wood dry out. Use paper that was soaked and run the temp to 350-375 keeping the paper wet. Once bent then hold the heat at 200 for about 15 minutes to cook off as much water and let set in the mold clamped up so it wont move john hall |
