Any ideas of temp for the bending machine and thickness of sides for a cut away Ziricote?

was just reading another site that recommended .075 to .080. with supersoft II. Let us know how it goes, ziricote is on my short list.

Hey Blake,
An acquaintance built a couple of ziricote steel string guitars. The only info I have is that he took the back and sides down to .095 before bending. I emailed him asking for any experiences he had with the wood. I'll let you know what he tells me. The only info I have now is that he took the back and sides down to .095 before bending. He built a curly maple neck which mates beautifully with the ziricote. The photo below is in the white.
