my family had a corkscrew willow that has been growing in the back yard since i was really young, it recently fell due to a heavy ice storm we had, and i'm wondering, would building a strat body out of it work? i'm told willow is pretty brittle, has anyone done this? i'm thinking it could be pretty cool if it worked.


thanks all,

Dave

Chris I don't think any willow is considered a stable wood. May be wrong, but thats what I heard.

You settled yet?
