Growth rings?
« on: August 09, 2020, 07:32:56 pm »
Here are what I consider good growth rings that came off both ends of the stave. The only way they could have been better is if the early ring was smaller. What’s the consensus Ya or na. Or pics of what you like. Arvin

I could work with either of those.  :OK  I love being able to see the lunar rings inside the annual rings.  8)

These would my choice of good rings, thin early wood and wider late wood.
