I went to the Montreal Guitar Show last week. Awesome. Met some great people. Saw and played some amazing guitars.

I picked up some Madagascar Rosewood from one of the suppliers there.
Brought it home and put it in my wood storage room which is sitting about 50%.
The next day - it has warped - a lot.

What do I do?

Help!

Mine too Neil ... turn the warped pieces over, and watch for it to flatten out (mine did - my shop is at 45 these days). I then stickered and wrapped the sticker ends with fibre tape, and set aside. Should be fine. I wont be using mine for at least a year or two ....

Thanks Tony

Tried what you suggested, but it still hasn't flattened. I have weights on it now.

Any other suggestions?

Put it on a concrete floor, or on the lawn ... it wil draw moisture to the cupped side ..
