Getting started on a new guitar. These cocobolo sides bent really easily on the bending iron. The amount of oil that came to the surface and scorched was pretty ridiculous. Check out the side of the bending iron. Hopefully, it sands off the sides ok. This is my first time using cocobolo.

Well after a good bit of scraping and sanding, that's a bit of an improvement. Phew!

Wenge really appeals to me. I don't question it, I just embrace it.
