Ok fellows, I've lost my marbles.Somewhere in my stack of stuff I've got an article about testing wood grain directionwith india ink. I can't remember which publication it's in: Sport AviationTips, Wood, etc.I've got a chance to purchase some Sitka here in Maine (been at the lumberyardfor about a year, having been brought in from the West Coast on special orderfor another customer) for $8 per foot (full 2"x6"). VERY straight grain, withrings averaging 21 per inch (low 18 rpi, high 30 rpi) throughout the full sixinch width.Do any of you guys remember this article--maybe from Forest Products Lab publication,AC 43.13, etc.?Thanx,Alan________________________________________________________________________________
