Re: Cupped Back

Board still hasn't flattened. Company suggested spraying the underside of the cup with some water. Tried twice but it didn't do anything.
Any other suggestions?

Top/Back Thickness

I realize my questions depend on the wood but in general what thickness do you normally aim for when preparing your top/back?
What would normally be considered to thin?

Cupped Back

Just bought a new back and when it came it has like a 1/4" cup in the middle of the board.
