Opinions Please - Which Side to Use??

[Luciano Burtini]

Make it reversible... They're both too nice to hide

...or throw the whole thing away and start again....

Actually, I think I would pick side 'A' for the center two beautiful patterned boards. Too bad you couldn't find a bit more the same, huh?

[Gary Keedwell]

I would say "B" too. Like the poster above me, I have a table with an errant board and I look at it every time I walk past it. GRrrrrrrrrr

I think the question ought to be; "what can I build to show off both sides of this board". Maybe a hinged door of some kind? The wood is beautiful, and I prefer 'B'.

I happened upon an amazing piece of figured cherry - but there was not enough to make the entire top.

are the boards already joined? what about resawing them to make the good curl lastlonger?

I vote for side B. It has a more consistent pattern.

Side B! I think that side A will look funny once the heartwood darkens.

Awesome wood. I like side B.

You could just hang it from the ceiling, then you look at both sides!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jesse Thornton]

I prefer B as well. I definitely like the grain in the middle boards of the A side best, but the contrast would bug me.
Tough call.

[Gary Herrmann]

B - consistency of pattern.
