I attended a class in PA this Spring on making the Davies soundboard press. The gentleman teaching the class had a lumber supplier order in the southern yellow pine for his press. You may want to contact him as he made a modification to his press to better approximate the board curve that he wanted. It involved a slit in each of the press lower members. I have pictures of the press and the modification if you would like to see them.
