Thanks for the info, I really appreciate your comments and suggestions. In the end the walnut worked well. I only posted so others would have an effective technique to bend that species of wood. I actually think it is a really nice wood, just a little more difficult to bend. No need to use something else. Again, thanks for commenting. I really appreciate that you share your experience and knowledge with the rest of us.

Hi Gregory, I agree with you that if anyone wrote the "only option" this would be incorrect. Thus the use of the word alternative. Alternative - (of one or more things) available as another possibility. 😀 Allan Edited April 28, 2023 by allanyed mtaylor 1 Quote PLEASE take 30 SECONDS and sign up for the epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series.

Gregory Posted April 28, 2023 Share #33 Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) Allan, my point was, when someone asks for help bending walnut, suggesting they use a different wood is not really any help with the problem if they would prefer to use walnut.
