I don't think we can solve this issue at our level. The paradox of the situation is that my personal opinion on this issue will change it only for me. And for many people who do not know about Sergio and this forum and get information from popular sources of information, nothing will change.
I don't know how hard it is to get this information from Butterfly. Maybe it would be easier if someone, like Dan, asked Timo Boll about it and got an answer.
At this point, I think your are just trolling me or provoke me into saying something I shouldn't, any minimally intelligent person would be able to realize it's not an opinion, it is a
fact.
Since you like to get your information online, here's some for you:
- What are medullary rays?"
"Medullary rays are ribbon-like bands of plant cells that extend radially from the center of a tree to its bark, perpendicular to the growth rings. Functionally, they act as pipelines for transporting nutrients and storing sugars laterally across the tree's trunk."
- Does Ayous have medullary rays?
"Yes, ayous (also known as obeche, samba, or wawa) does have medullary rays!"
- Does Limba have medullary rays?
"Yes, like all trees, limba (Terminalia superba) contains medullary rays, but they are
very narrow and invisible to the naked eye. Unlike woods known for prominent ray flecks (such as oak or lacewood), limba’s rays require a hand lens to be seen and do not produce a highly visible "ray flake" or figure on quartersawn surfaces."
The TB ALC has clearly visible medullary rays, so, by simple logic, we can conclude that the wood is definitly not Limba, which leaves us the other only logic choice, Ayous.
If after this you still insist you need a disassembled blade, then you are only showing stubbornness because literally anyone can grasp such a simple concept. I didn't try to humiliate you, you did it yourself.
