I never claimed to know more than real gunsmiths, not counting gun-farming general contractors like you Queen Stevie.
I quite obviously do know more than you about saw milling wood into lumber. And It is hilarious to see you calling yourself an expert when you fell on your face when you had the chance to show us that you knew the difference between feather crotch black walnut and thin shell walnut. It didn't take being book smart to know the blank Bob Cash showed us was not the same wood as the finished stock he showed us.
But I could see how you might be stupid enough to fail that simple test miserably. Others failed too, but you're the great "expert" that has been in the trade for decades. What a joke.
I see you do not wish to revisit why your friend canvasback would choose me or other people to do rust bluing for him instead of you, who he said is one of his best friend's on this forum. I guess he works hard for his money, and simply wants good work that is not sub-contracted to a real gunsmith.
You were asked a simple question about how 30 to 60 degrees can ever be PERPENDICULAR. And predictably, you avoided that question. That picture in my last post is real rift-sawn end grain. If someone sells you rift-sawn wood with end grain at or near 45 degrees to the face, then you have been cheated and lied to. But you are too dumb to know, so ignorance is bliss.
