Pattern in the Wood


I have often looked at the partial repetition of shapes in plywood and theorised about how they got there. Obviously, at 4' wide, a ply board is not just a cross section of a tree. It turns out that my guess was about right.

    Hold on. Is this you Jack, as in Jack Brennan Jack? I hope so.

    I once whittled a nursing shark atop its mother from a block of Kauri wood I picked up in a carpenter's workshop in New Zealand. I used a 4" Opinel to do so, which has 'Matteo' whittled into the handle and stained with red wax. I have it with me here, now, in Geneva.
