I bent the maple sides.
First time I bending maple, rosewood sides are much easier to bend.
The maple tend to want to crack alone the flame direction.
Luckily I am using hand to bent so I can stop before the crack gets too big.
I suspect the heat gun is not hot enough for maple.
Anyway I manage to complete both sides.
The fit is not perfect but I will adjust the curvature before assembly
Bend at the waist checking against the mold.
Upper bout done
Lower bout done.
Cut to length
Clamp to fit the mold.
After correction now it fits the mold nicely without the use of clamps
