Post subject:  Khaya African mahogany bends thick

I just bent several strips of khaya and it all went well and easy at 0.12-0.14", 3-3.5mm so this might be interesting for those doing laminated linings. I appreciate using just two strips instead of 3 or even 4. Of course there are even more bendable woods out there but khaya is easily available in very cheap and large guitars sides, at least from Spain.
