these neck laminations look awesome! But i really don't get it how the middle part can be so much more darker than the outer parts, when it is from the same wood board?

But it looks really cool, can't wait to see the finished neck!

Here is a rough sketch to try to illustrate how your neck lams were cut - (sorry about the poor quality, i had to compress the heck out of it so it would be small enough to post here...)
