try .075 in thick

keep well damp
once bent allow heat to go to 350F
then set to 275F for 10 min allow to cool

I have not bent bog oak yet but I have bent oak White Oak sides on several guitars and my experience is that it bends like butter. I have only ever bent them on a hot pipe though too. I'm curious to know of your experience with the bog oak.

Hopefully it bends well, I'm using a pipe to bend to, seems really flexible

Not many dealers in UK but found a Guy who supplies it to Lowden and a few other big name builders, absolutely love the fact its so old, hes had some of the sets carbon dated to 4000+ years old. My mind was blown
