Good Evening Friends,

I was so busy in the shop today that I almost forgot to write the quiz;

So here we go, How do you determine the difference between flat sawn, rift sawn and quarter sawn lumber?

 

Have fun with this one and pictures will be helpful for those who don't know the answer.

Acceptable excuse...Great to hear (a) not only are you busy (b) but you also feel well and want to be out there!!

Well you all never cease to amaze me with your knowledge in woodworking and the grafts were perfect. Thanks all for your support. Yes I am feeling much better these days.
