Hi brains trust,
One of my neck blanks (acacia) arrived a bit cupped, a bit warped and a bit twisted. It's got plenty of surplus wood on it, so I could just plane and sand it back to square before I use it. But I'm wondering if it's likely to cause issues in the future, and if there's any way to tell if it's done twisting or only part way there?
I'm thinking I'll just plane/sand it, shape it, then let it sit for a few weeks and see what it does. Or do you think that would be a waste of effort?
