The replacement billets came from LMI the day before Christmas. I have since ripped and split most of it yielding enough to brace both the top and back of the guitar.
All the above pieces are reasonably well quartered: ripped on the sides with one split face to be used as the glue surface. Obviously these need to be shaped, but the general dimensions and grain orientations are there.
Above is a picture of what is left over from the 5 billets I received. 90% of this is not quartered or straight enough to use so I'll throw a lot of this away. But there are some pieces that could be used in the future.
