Stockpiling neck blanks

I have loads of wood to resaw. But I'm hesitant to start because last time I did it I wasted some good cherry because the bandsaw wasn't set up perfectly. So I took a piece of alder that wasn't big enough for tops or backs and made a few necks. I'll plane the top side and the headstocks with a hand plane, and then lay out the contours in relation to those surfaces.

The larger chunk behind them is for another neck but I need to check the dimensions when I get back to the main workshop.
