Bisio is a great guy.
Since he's a fine gunmaker I'd ask his opinion on his blanks.
Just looking at the 2 pics, I'd select the one on the right with finish on it. Can't see the grain flow on top & bottom though. Grain flow through the grip and along the forend is the most important part of the blank. Color & figure are just fluff. Make sure it lays out FIRST.
