hey guys, i am at the bending stage of my guitar and I was wondering if anyone has tried bending french curly walnut. what potential problems you've run into. did you soak the wood, just lightly spray with water or just bend it dry? this is my first time bending sides so I would like to know the best approach before I jump into it Thanks alot |

Lightly spray is all you need. Walnuts are one of the easiest woods to bend. |
