Bob, if you have a stocker picked out get his input about your last two or three choices. The stocker too often get stuck trying to make the customers bad wood choice work, when if asked earlier the stocker can point out things that might become a problem and suggest things to get a better outcome. I also would request more photos of the final two blank choices. I want top and bottom as well as both ends. That will tell you how centered the blank is and if there is a problem with run out with the grain running across the blank or along the long axis. Cecil will know what you need and can get them to you. You do know you just scratched the very tip[ of his wood pile? And he loves to talk wood.
