OWW, I guess I've always had a special talent for simplifying things ;)

WDH, I tried to take some close-up pics of magnolia end grain last night, but I failed miserably.  I guess I could learn a thing or two from SD.  You'll just have to trust me that all of my magnolia samples, including cucumbertree, Fraser magnolia, and umbrella magnolia, lack the double band of marginal parenchyma.  I don't have any southern magnolia.

The mystery deepens.  We need a sample of Magnolia grandiflora :).

I can come up with that, if air dried lumber is ok.  Ya think ya can see some dueling Pachyderms and oblong potholes in that?  I kin send along my last can of Bleue if ya think that'll help. ::)

Keep the bleu.  Just send the close-up pics! :)

My closeup picture takin' capabilities are even worse than Dodgy Loner's, if you can believe such a thing. ::)  How about if I just square off one of these boards I got and send y'all the chunk that falls off the end.  Would that work?

Yes!  You would get photo credit as the supplier :D.
