These are the pictures Cecil provided. The blank is tad darker in overall tone than this, which is what I was looking for. The fiddleback has a much more pronounced look than the pictures show.





In all, I think he sent me pics of over 20 blanks to sort through. I narrowed it down to five and he sent me more detailed photos of those so I could make up my mind. I am sure if I had wanted, he would have sent me over 100. He really is good to work with.

I have an old Lefever stock sitting here. I played around with some different layouts on this blank. All I need now is a H.E.& F. Lefever to put this one on Mr. Ken. It has already been drying for 7 years, I guess it might be ready...
