Does the sapwood side have three buttresses matching the three pith lines?

Sort of, yeah.  It has the two outside buttresses, but the middle pith line is weird.  Looking straight at the end face, you get the two outside half-circles, and between them there's just a crease or V , with lots of sapwood.   Bit like this I suppose -  OVO

I've ended up going more or less with the left buttress as it's the straightest, and on the back looks the most solid.
