Well, it was W2 from the last batch that got me going on the blue buckeye. I love the top on Dave's SS bass from the current FTC thread as well. In this set, I would have preferred W13 to W14.
As far as the part that is obscured, it seems to be a yellower section. It almost looks like W12 doesn't have as many tight imperfections like the others, which I think might make it look more like stone (a good thing).
I will just take it and not worry about it. Worst case, I'll put you on the lookout for another if this one isn't exactly what I was looking for. Do you still have my cell number for last week to make contact, or should I email you with that and address info?
By the way, it's cool how you grayed that text out...
