Here they are; http://picasaweb.google.com/10778581..._03caQxLqZzwE#

In one close up of the lower E side 'F' you can see a glimpse of the bass bar.

In the pic of the wood grain I'm trying to show the partial knot near the seam of the 2-3 piece top. This is under the over stand and I believe the bar has some of this knot in it as well.
