I'm in the home stretch of The Insane Garbage Surround Project

"con heart" redwood - from THE BORG - with some of the boards
also have sapwood. Now why there's sapwood in "heart" boards
would be a mystery - but hey - it's THE BORG.

Anyway, I've got five boards, two with sapwood. A couple of them
have only one "good face" so that simplifies things just a little.
But there's still quite a few flip / rearrange options. Here are
four symetric possibilities. Now these boards will be in a module
to the right of the gate/door shown here (which will also give
you an indication of why this is The Insane Garbage Surround Project
- about 100 mortises per "module")

Here are the four finalists I've got for the last module. Got a
preference, and if so, why?

I am terrible at trying to "see" what things would look like, but is it too late
to take the rightmost board from the left unit and put one of the sapwood boards
there? Then take the other sapwood board and use it for the leftmost board in
the right unit. That way you would sorta frame the gate.
