What would the instrument profile look like? I think it would depend on how much darker wood is left. Might look nice with the dark on the outside... What kind of wood is that exactly? |

I'd say 1st too Bob, what is it ? |

First one. But either would really be ok. |

Thanks guys. Of course it could be used either way depending on customer preferance. I was just looking for the best way to take the pictures. Maybe I'll do a few each way.  Oh it's QS Curly Ash in very limited quantity.

[QUOTE=Bobc] I’m looking for an honest opinion [/QUOTE] Bob, What? Did you think we'd give you a dishonest opinion. That's not right!
Put me down for Number Uno with a bold zigzag down the center and while you are at it, cut a dred shape out of it. That thang's got bluegrass written all over it. |

I am a #2 type of guy john hall |

I'm with John, I like #2. I think I always like to see the lighter color wood as well as the tighter grain along the seam. Of course, I'm a little odd. Bob, you can't spoil our objectiveness by stating your preference first. I bet if you kept it secret, the results would be much different!
Cheers! John |

#2. I agree with John and John. It's got a natural sunburst built in. Ron |

OK How about one of each? Tough to get the curl to show on both halves but it's there.

I still like the second one. Take 1/2" out of the center so there's a little more dark at the waist. Its framed. Ron |

Ron these sets are about 9" wide so there is room to play.

Nice looking ash, Bob.....what species is it? I picked up some super figured Japanese Tamo ash and some fiddlebck European ash awhile back. I've always admired fine ash. I would agree with the opinion to remove a bit of center and keep the heartwood framing the set. |

Thanks Larry. Nothing exotic. Just nice American ash. Fraxinus Americana PS: I very happy to see you on OLF
