There has been some discussion of late about side bending and difficult woods, etc. It seems like a good time for a thread regarding temperatures for bending different woods. So what do y'all like for temps? |

Several years ago, John Mayes put together a nice article on side bending with lots of woods and temperatures he likes to bend at. Here is the article. I tend to follow this as John spend several months working for Dana B bending sides, tuning tops etc.... so he's put in his time I'd say. There of course will most likely be others who dissagree with John's list of bending temperatures but that's the way of it. And here is cut and paste from the article with the list of woods Indian Rosewood: 300f Mahogany: 310f Maple (bigleaf): 290f maple (European): 280f Brazilian Rosewood: 305f Cocobolo: 310f Koa: 300f Paduk: 310f Walnut: 300f Other Rosewoods: 300f |
