In Response To: Strip: Accent strip material suggestions? (Steve Solomon)

I have used Ash for all of my highlight strips and Walnut or Wenge for darks, but that is because
they are available here in South of the UK.
With a heat gun, Ash is super easy to bend, Walnut is OK to good and Wenge is an absolute pig to
work with and should come with a health warning but it is the blackest you are ever going to find.
My son had me build his cockpit coming with Wenge and it looks great. But NEVER AGAIN!!!!
