bending
there's still some fine tuning to cut down on springback and address some remaining, but hopefully manageable, minor cracking. this could change when i get back to the planned mahogany - i've been using sapele for dialing in the process. the sapele has a bit of runout which may be contributing to the cracking, but then again i think it is also known to bend more easily than mahogany..
