I am building my first guitar and i was wondering if anyone had any extra quarter sawn walnut for sale , i tried using some black walnut my uncle had but it is impossible to bend the side because of the runout(keeps popping up and splitting), lmi has some but not what i am particularly looking for.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but there's some nice looking French Walnut up for sale over at Bob Cefalu's rctonewoods.com.

Not sure what you are doing but Walnut bends like butter. What thickness are your sides? I suspect they are too thick or you are not letting your wood come up to temperature before bending.

We have some really nice Claro Walnut, fully quartersawn and fully dried you may be interested in. You can find us in the sponsor links under Indian River Tonewoods. Give me a call if you have any questions.
