I bent some sides today in the Foxy bender...4 sets of Mahogany and one set of Koa (A gift from Pete)...The Mahogany was just as reluctant to bend as it always is with a little spring back that I adjust later on the the hot pipe...But the Koa was easy like bending lead sheet..No wonder you guys like it so much.:rolleyes:
 
Australia Blackwood bends just as well. You can just about tie it in a knot.

I flew in to Sydney on Tuesday at 6.30 am, and was at Gilet bending blackwood sides by 7:30.....
23 hours on a plane can't hold me back!
 
Hey....shut up!! Don't let the secret out!
Its important that all the non-builders think that side bending is some magical art form
 
This was a nightmare to bend. It's going to be a nice uke when we finish it
