I was able to get up to the shop this weekend and complete some more of the guitar using the River Recovered Honduras Mahogany. Bending the sides was a tricky process. I had to thin the sides down to just under one tenth of an inch to bend them without cracking. My first attempt at bending them with a greater thickness resulted in a crack along the curl in the upper bout.
