Quarter sawn is the best & most stable timber, but expensive to mill.
Take a look at the timber next time you're in a DIY shed & it'll mostly be 'mixed' cut & twisted & cupped like a propeller.

that makes sense, cricket bats have that straight consistent grain pattern.

I’m calling ballocks. I was there when a penny chew at the corner shop was 1d, and the next it was 1p. There’s no way that calculator is correct.
Maybe it should have a ½d there, too!

It was quite a revalation when I discovered the
existance of JIS having previously cursed philips screws for being crap. They are less crap when you use the right screwdriver
That's so true 😂

@PeteXXX Interesting that you posted these two as the Football one lists Brighton incorrectly as ‘The Shrimps’ when their nickname is actually ‘The Seagulls’. Morecambe F.C. are ‘The Shrimps’.
Interesting! There must be a list of seagulls somewhere, too 😀
