What else can you do but try and fit the patterns like it looks like you are doing? There is always a certain amount of waste, sucks but alas that's wood.

That’s not Mexican crackwood aka Zircote,
That’s a 3and a half inch thick slab of good old smellybelly wood

I would not bother you with ziricote... ;)

If you have a market for three piece backs that might make life easier. Guitar back and sides are probably the most lucrative use for that species, but there are other markets for it.

I have the same issue with several huge planks of BRW..
One solution is 3 or 4 piece backs..

Hahahahaha.........for sure no table top
I dislike these river epoxy live edge table tops a bit....just too much these days

No I think I take the risk and resaw it. 4 piece backs always work, and if I can’t get any sides I have to search another piece.... ;)
