Jim, the whole body was cut from the same board and looking at it, half of the board was a little lighter shade than the other half, so I cut the arms and legs from the darker side and the back pieces from the lighter side because, as you can see on the original picture I used, David's back, in the picture, was lighter than the rest of him.
However, if the board had been all the same shade I probably would have still cut all the pieces from it, because other boards I had on hand would not match at all.
