thanks for the clarification, Swampy.

I thought potatoes came in clear plastic bags? ???

Yeah light burned and turned green skins, yuck. :D

Them whisky barrel staves would likely be easier to steam bend to, since shrinkage is greater in thickness on quartered timber. Less likely to bust the fibres.

As explained by Ron the cooper, a non quartered board runs the risk of delaminating at a point where a growth ring hits the board face when it is bent to form the stave.  Ron is the resident cooper at the strawberry bank museum in portsmouth.

Ron was here yesterday to pick up half the wood, as I cut two red oaks I had for him also.  He thought maybe he would use a few of the white pieces for furniture but the bulk is going to beer barrels :D
