Thanks for the nice comments folks - appreciated. You guys probably wouldn't want to know what I pay for my figured and curly walnut. there is a hardwood mill about 35 miles south of us that provides air-dried wood for local cabinetmakers. But a large part of their market is supplying area high school wood programs. I bought the last small pile of their sapwood/curly 'cast-offs' for .75 to $1.10 per board foot. I have to pick through the pile and about 1/2 or more of a board ends up in the kindling bin but there is some beautiful stuff in there.

Since the next horse will be walnut I am going to try to contrast mane and tail with some Myrtle wood I got in Oregon a couple of weeks ago. Saddle - Maybe Cherry.
