This mayn't be the case necessarily. If so, one is hard pressed to find a relation between the two sawed halves as opposed to being two random pieces of wood, blurring the difference b/w a normal side and a sawed off side. | |
| Aug 25, 2020 at 15:44 | comment | added | gen-ℤ ready to perish | All of these choices imply the wood was recently cut. What if the plank is 40 years old? I wouldn’t use any of these in that case. | |
