Looking for some opinions!!!

    I'm wondering how thin they should be? Right now I have them at 1/4"

    Yea--what UJ said.  You could bookmatch them and make a really pretty top and back.

    Plenty big enough. I ended up cutting enough for a box top and making the rest into fret boards. I have a piece of black walnut that I bookmatched and planned to use on a box some day. Now, I'll use this as the face and the walnut as the back.

    Looks good for a top.  Big enough?  Oooh.  Would make a nice four piece top too.
