Here's the wood just before slicing:

Note in the left hand picture, Kris has a proposed area for a fingerboard. We can get the fingerboard from this and leave the other piece you supplied whole, or just know that you've got probably 2 fingerboards worth left from this board. The other piece has the straighter grain pattern you preferred.

Today Kris sliced your top and here it is:

Totally amazing color and grain. He picked the pinkest area of the board.

Kris has an alternate suggestion for the peghead placement from when you visited last. Here's his idea:

peghead for Henry

He likes the idea of the straight grain of the fingerboard running into the straigt grain on the peghead (I think it seems cool too!). If this looks good to you, let me know and we can get the peghead veneers glued up right away.

Here's the fingerboard side inlays:

third fret
12th fret

We used Black Tahitian Mother of Pearl. The parallelgrams face opposite directions on either side of the 12th fret.
