: From the pictures, it appears that you're using Luan, which is rather brittle
: (especially the core) and prone to cracking. If it's 1/4" thick, that
: makes the problem even worse. You'd be better off using 3mm or 4mm Okoume.
: The uniform thickness of the laminations makes it much better for bending.

Nope, he's using Okoume. Certified BS1088. I helped him bring it home from the lumberyard and saw the certification stamp.
