I'm assuming you mean Madagascar Rosewood. I've bent it once using a Fox style bender. No special issue whatsoever, except excessive oils surfaced out during bending, which turned the sides almost black! Scraped right of though. |

get it hot (300), wrapped in foil with moisture, then bend pretty fast - like the whole thing in 3 minutes .. if it case hardens at all, it will likely crack on you. It can be brittle ... |
