- In this episode of DIY Guitar Making, I talk about and demonstrate techniques for bending woods with a heavy figure or difficult woods with an inconsistent or unpredictable grain orientation. I use the 5 troubleshooting factors: Thickness, Moisture, Heat, Pressure and Grain Orientation to show how I look at the task of bending guitar sides.

Hi Eric .. I bend by hand and always use pressure on the tighter curves. I use a spring steel strap therefore making the outside of the curve on the wood behave as if it's the inside. For me this pressure really does help. I would welcome your thoughts on this. Cheers! Paul from England
Isn't it a good idea to use mahogany for approx. 75% of the thickness and then a veneer of figured wood on the outside face? Save money and more stable? 🙏🏻🇨🇦
So Eric, for a newbie to get good results with limited experience, which side bending method is the best choice, BENDING MACHINE or BENDING IRON? AND thanks for your videos, they are always great!
I would say bending machine for sure if you up for the investment
Thanks Eric, another great video.
Your “like” to “view” ratio is about 1.5-2X the ratio of some of the other excellent luthier/wood working channels I follow. Keep up the good work!
Ah, that's interesting. I hadn't really noticed that. I'm definitely gonna look at some of the related channels now to see if that's true, ya know just for vanities sake lol. Thanks, Keith!
You mentioned that you don't soak figured woods because it does not work. Can you please explain why? Thank you for the very informative video.
Tanks you a lot !
thank you Eric .the ziricote is beautiful
Thanks Eric! I can't wait for my class in the fall!
I'm looking forward to it as well! See ya then!
