I wonder how to match a four-piece back for highest beauty? My uncle gave me some wood, but not big enough but I can cut it into four.

Customes who dont mind a four pieces back (which is rare) seem to appreciate it.

This is from my picture gallery of details that I like enough to save. I can't remember where I picked up this picture, so my apologies to whomever I appeared to have swiped it.

It is actually a three piecer, but it is real similar to Alain's with some detailing added.

BTW, nice back on that one as well, Alain.
