Unless your Bastogne is extremely heavy, it looks like a good choice. Much English English shows few dark lines and a general golden tone like this. A bit of heaviness can be taken care of with a bore hole through the butt or slendering the outside. Some Bastogne is no heavier the English or Claro. I think one of my finish articles at my web site includes a process for bringing out fiddle without staining. Should be a beautiful stock. I have a half dozen people I recommend for stock turning if you do not have anyone picked yet.
