Bruce,
Took you 170 years to count eight inches? Man... I'm not sure I have the time left to do that....

What is the usual ring/inch for redwood tops? I got me some WAAAY tight-grained redwood. I lost count / went cross-eyed at 50/inch. I'll post some pics if I get a chance but doubt the rings will be visible. It's difficult to see with regular eyeballs much less a point and shoot in the hands of a caffeine junkie! |

Take a magnifying glass and a pencil. Mark it every ten grains. Then count your marks and multiply by ten. I did this on some red cedar and in eight inches it was 170 years. |

I've seen it anywhere from 4 lines per inch to close to 75...or more. |

And those must be the tops you bought from me a week or so back, yes? |

The rain and humidity aren't doing me any good currently (big hailstorms today). Just scored 3 sets of Walnut B/S from Bluespirit. Little by little. |
