If all that fails, try some air dried Ash. Awesome bending wood, it should take that bend no problem.

Good luck!

On to the 50 year old Brazilian rosewood! :lol:
Really, that's awesome Chris! Looking forward to seeing and hearing the first acoustic Marlin.

Have you ever thought of using laminated sides instead? Although, it might be just as tough to get a veneer to bend that tight without splintering up. But two planks sanded to .04 would probably do well.

And what's the plan on bindings? .065 all around, variable width, 2 strips, piles of snapped .08? beehive

I wonder if using double sides would be a good solution for the figured woods?
