Very nice mineral streaking. And a few small knots are nice to see. It adds character. That will look great with finish on it!

Thanks, Brian, I thought so, too (concerning the little knots). Justin mentioned the acetone soaking treatment for oil removal. What does that do to the wood? Does it swell or 'whisker up'? I guess my concern would be the fit of the inletted portions of the wood.

As for the knots....they seem to be rare on factory made stocks. Are they considered blemishes?
