Finally!!!...it was getting to be like a Greek tragedy...AND it's beautiful Cap..definitely worth the wait
Cutting final blank sizes today has been really good (good luck, good rewards). I had a number of blocks where I had to take my best guess as to where things were going on the inside, pick the keeper face and cut the other away . .. . . or, in some instances, I decided to nip away at both faces and work my way in to what I thought was going on underneath on both sides. In any case .. . we're hitting jackpots every time today!
So, yay!
Elaine's was pro'ly the trickiest, with just perfect stuff going on on both faces (but the block was at least a quarter inch too thick). I mapped it from the exposed end (seeing where the twiglets poked out on both ends, guessing where they wandered in the middle), and took 3/32" off one face and 5/32" off the other and double jack-potted! ( . .. . double-jacked the pot? . .. doubled the jack pot? 
. . . double potted the Jack? 
. . . . . . . )
So, yay!

This is the true Bee magic. That is an art and not something to be learned from reading about it.
i could show them pictures of your wood, Aal_! Don't tempt me! Then everyone would see your green wood with little tidbits of fungal rot!

But don't look up any of that part in urban dictionary.
