I prepared this mold a few months ago in anticipation of a new project.
Inspired by how the Ash bent for the guitars that I am building for my daughters, I tried the same technique again. Wet the Ash, wrap it in foil, let sit for about an hour, then unwrap it and hand bend it into the mold. Usually bending wood requires heat as well, but I bent this with no additional heat, all at room temperature.
This project will be able to sit like this until sometime in the future, there's no rush. I thought that I could use a neck that was already made, but I've decided to try something new so this project will require a different neck.
