To me it seems simple but I'm sore, as with all building steps there is a LOT more to it that takes decades and decades to perfect.

Any preliminary hints? I have books and YouTube, but no experience yet.

I bent some birds eye maple last year for a guitar. Much easier than I thought it would be. I take it to 2.0 or 2.1 mm.
