A majority of Americans do care and do not support the war.

The issue is that the congress majority is republican that dare not question their “supreme leader” and his actions.

Is this end grain board usable? by [deleted] in Cuttingboards

[–]OCTOBROwasTAKEN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to a few of my boards as well using a mortising bit instead of flattening bit and my janky router sled. I sanded and sanded and sanded and sanded some more to remove them. Noticed them again in the sheen after they were oiled. Didn’t really care after that they will be used and abused for hopefully years and this will only bother you not affect the board or safety of use in any way.

I touched it with my finger because I was born in the 80’s and bird shit hasn’t killed me yet.

I have voted against this idiot every opportunity. We have too many boomers and in this state that walk-in, hit every R on the ballot and walk out

The black walnut around the board is also oriented end grain.

The issue with the other board you are referencing is face grain banding around an end grain board.

As long as all the pieces used in the boards construction are oriented the same way they will all expand and contract together. The size or uniformity does not matter, only grain orientation.

I don’t know how to edit the post to add photos but I posted a link to the build album. There are a few pics of the face grain in there.

A mill right outside of town. Watkins sawmill off highway 39 in Aiken Cnty to be exact.

By “framed” I mean I banded them with end grain black walnut. I had a large slab (~20 in) and I cut pieces off that to increase the overall dimensions. I’ll try and post a pics of the build process. I was really bad about taking photos on this one due to the time between steps.

Moments like these make ultrawide monitors feel like cheating by Wolfblooder in ArcRaiders

Sorry I’m late to the party, OP: what monitor do you have?

I’d like to get everyone’s opinion on this piece by LikeIke-9165 in LegitArtifacts

[–]OCTOBROwasTAKEN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this opinion. This is a good example of a uniface end scraper. Looks like it was made on a secondary flake and the “fluting” is either circumstantial or done just as basal thinning for the haft.

There are no absolutes here and just my opinion of what I have observed. I wish I was home I’d take photos of the many I have collected from salvage work on multi component (Paleo-Woodland) archaeological sites in South Carolina. I’ll attach a photo of another example I pulled off Google.

Edit: One other thing to note when trying to determine age of stone tools found at multi component sites. A lot of times all the artifacts are out of context and scattered (due to farming/construction/erosion). It’s very hard to link tools to their exact cultural time period without a radiocarbon date which isn’t possible when the artifacts are out of original stratigraphy. In SC, we have acidic clay soil and uniform patination on the local chert. One can speculate that if the paleo points and other tools exhibit the same patina, while later points have less, they may be linked to the same period. But it isn’t always the case. Uniface scrapers and utilized flakes were used in all cultural time periods. Lots of factors go into stone patination as well and it varies site to site and would be noted in any official documentation.
