Hello - I bent Honduran Rosewood successfully on my form, no cracks or warping. But I do have a good amount of spring back. Ideally I want this to slip into my mold without too much spring back. 1. If I place this back on my mold - any ideas if this is good and how long should I put it in for ? 2. Should I cut my form back a little to overcompensate for the spring back ? I tried correcting the spring back on the pipe - but for some reason this wood is very resistant to bending on the pipe. |

I'd put it back in the bender slightly wetted again and cook it at 320-350 for another ten minutes and see what happened.... |

you should have a slight about of compensation designed into your pattern. At 350 for 5 minutes you will get a good bit of resin. |

Thanks John - I just trimmed my form a bit and cooked 230 degrees for 45 minutes - I think that will do the trick - will confirm in the morning. |

...I think you can over-cook the side and the wood can become brittle and cracking can occur. At least I seem to have had that happen to a black limba side... |

At least I seem to have had that happen to a black limba side... there's always something - recooking it seemed to have worked - I added more water to keep from over cooking it - we will see how she holds up in the future ! Thnks for the help |
