Having worked with Walnut over the years. There’s several species. Black, Claro’ and probably a few others. I don’t feel the grain structure of walnut would be a good choice as a brace wood! It would likely be prone to fracture under stress. Nothing beats quality Seasoned Spruce for instrument brace material. Laminated with spruce it would be fine, but no real reason to go that route. Walnut is my favorite headstock overlay wood. It’s also great for B&S. Best! Sage
