: Hi Roger-

: How does this shot work?

: The sheer is Walnut, then a WRC/Walnut stripe, then WRC to the waterline, a
: Walnut/Basswood/Walnut stripe, then WRC to the football area, then a
: Basswood/WRC/Basswood/WRC stripe and lastly, the football area will be
: Basswood.

: You can see the scarf joint in the Basswood in the waterline stripe.

Thanks for the extra photo. It answered my question. The origional photo had pixelation along the accent stripe so I wasn't sure if it was 3 long strips or a series of short diagonal strips. Using the black walnut and basswood against each other is a good idea. It builds a lot of contrast. I once used cherry beside maple for an accent and it just didn't have enough contrast.

Lookin Good,

Roger
