Just took this second side out of the mould, seems to have gone well.  I was expecting potential problems with the amount of sapwood and the heartwood strip, cupping, warping, springback etc. but no fuss, no drama, just bent.

Well done! I have a set I might be working on soon. What thickness did you get it down to before bending? |
