Hi, I recently purchased some nice figured Sapele Pomelle and Waterfall Bulbinga. I didn't notice it being warped when I recieved it but the next day I noticed it. Both sets are fairly thick (1/8th"). The Sapelle I have to return it's got too much of a warp and the Bulbinga I'm considering keeping, it's got just a little wave of a warp at the bottom of the back pieces. The sets came from Oregon and I am in San Francisco.
What I want to ask is I've never had this problem in purchasing sets before and want to know if I could have done something to avoid this. Like I said I did not notice it when I first opened them up. I did not sticker them but they were laid flat. Or should I not purchase from this supplier again? Were they not dried enough by the supplier? And your thoughts on keeping the Bulbinga. Thanks everyone. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
