Lately I have been "playing" around with building my first custom bass(yes this is STRICTLY a hobby and I am NO ONE'S builder).I have mostly assembled kits and done a few small repairs.
I noticed with a three piece laminated neck blank that I have had glued up for around 5 years that the laminates all seem to bend to the left as I sight down the blank.Of course when flipped over they go the opposite way
.
This maple I purchased raw and not dried and was left to sit for a year in my cellar.Is there anything I should look for when purchasing material that will help me avoid these twists and turns?I am assuming this billet is headed for the woodstove........well after I practice cutting an angled headstock
