Which gives rise to the question why you never see boards made from

That is a _very_ good idea....


why?

More QS wood from the same tree (less waste), wider QS planks from the
same tree. The only disadvantage I can think of now is that the edges
of the plank would have a glue line.

Are we missing something? Why hasn't it been done? Is it a question of
cost, i.e the effort is not worth the additional wood? Or did Juergen
have a true inspirational moment?

While cutting up some pin oak the other yesterday, I wondered the same
thing. I had all these wedge shaped pieces left over - what could I
do with them, rather than the fireplace?

FWIW,
