Sitka, interesting. I had kinda figured that out. Wasn't positive. I think he quarter saws the log, , then towards the middle of the cut, he ends up with something too thin to make another cut, but too thick for a a single board. The plank I have been whittling on for few years does not show any signs of being from the dead center, as it has some white wood on one edge. I can probably get about two more blanks out of it.

<br>Of the stocks I have made from it, none have shown any signs of internal stress after I have finished with them. Like twisting or warping after cutting the barel channel. But I certainly make a note of it and be sure not to use that type of wood.

<br>Thanks for the info. Appreciate it.
