Wood appropriate for High Grade Parker??

[OH Osthaus]

does the center one have a bit too much figure in the wrist in the top picture?

Just thinking, while not as specatular, the one on the right looks to have grain flowing correctly through the wrist in at least three side, assuming you can work around the light colored bulge (sap wood?)

Blank is huge. No problem avoiding the lighter wood (which in this case isn't sap wood). That particular blank is quartersawn and has perfect layout imo.
