Thanks Jim, agree on the crack, just hope for good luck with it. I think I'm in a safe<br />
area with this thickness, I just bent some Indian rosewood sides at .055 and they did<br />
crack but repaired nicely just as you suggested. Felt too thin however, I think I'll have a little more margin of safety with the.85-.90 range. This is just really hard stuff, seems much harder than any Brazilian I've ever worked with before...

I guess I'd go with whatever thickness you would like. If it's going to crack, it's going to crack, doesn't matter what the thickness.<br />
Not a big deal if it does crack, just glue it with hot hide glue. Once it is finished you will never see the crack.<br />
With the rarity of brazilian rosewood, I certainly wouldn't reject the side because of a crack.<br />
