Hey all
I'm currently working a bit on a Black Locust stave and I am wondering about the three distinct shades in the wood.
Now I assume the white outer layer (1/4 inch) is the sapwood, and the dark inner core is the hardwood. But there is a layer (1/2 inch) in the middle that is lighter than the hardwood. and the rings are a bit denser then in the dark wood.
Should I remove this middle layer when I take off the sapwood, or is this ok to keep on the back?
