If it's something you really want to do, please confirm with me here and I'll get a placement photo posted. Let me know if you want to catch the sapwood at the outside edge or growing out of the neck on the inside edge. I don't think we'll be able to get both. mele_aloha Intermediate Member Username: mele_aloha Post Number: 157 Registered: 1-2007 Posted on Friday, June 01, 2007 - 4:51 pm:    Honestly Mica, I'm not sure what you are refering to as the sapwood. Is it the white wood in the middle? Or is it the dark edges in this case? mele_aloha Intermediate Member Username: mele_aloha Post Number: 158 Registered: 1-2007 Posted on Friday, June 01, 2007 - 4:55 pm:    Let me put it this way, I trust your decision to pick out the best way to position the wood and grains. I can't honestly tell over these pictures and the bottom line is you folks do the best and I mean best job of deciding. So I really like to leave it totally up to you. Thanks, Paul mele_aloha Intermediate Member Username: mele_aloha Post Number: 159 Registered: 1-2007 Posted on Friday, June 01, 2007 - 5:02 pm:    Actually Mica, I did finally figure out that the lighter color wood is the sapwood and if it came out on the tip of the horn or something of that nature that would be fine. But if anything I would leave it to showing on the inside as growing out of the neck so to speak. If a little showed on the outside edge it would not matter to me either. So I guess I am saying that it wouldn't matter to me if it were anywhere on the bass. It's up to how you can make the best position agreeing with the rest of the grains. Again I am totally open to however it comes out. Surprise me!! Thank you , Paul mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 4619 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Friday, June 01, 2007 - 5:29 pm:    Normally, we don't include the sapwood (the white part in Coco Bolo) unless there is a specific request to do so. If you don't mind what we select, we will be happy to surprise you - it's not something we get to do that often these days. mele_aloha Intermediate Member Username: mele_aloha Post Number: 160 Registered: 1-2007 Posted on Friday, June 01, 2007 - 5:37 pm:    I know that. I have noticed. I am really actually excited to get what you decide. I have seen the ones you have done and they are awesome. I would be fooling myself to think I could do better by exchanging pictures let alone if I were there. God Speed!, Go Forth with Aloha!! (Message edited by mele_aloha on June 01, 2007)
