Just a quick question - is it possible to bend Qld maple with a bending iron? Thought I'd ask the question before I buy the back and side sets. I had no trouble bending Indian rosewood with the bending iron, I'm still working on my first guitar but i would like to build my next one out of australian...

I bought a copy of "Build your own acoustic guitar" by kinkead, that along with this forum plus the help of you tube and i have managed to start my own project. I will add a few photos of what i have come up with if I ever work o...

Thanks for that, will give it a go.
