Ok, I'm behind on this challenge. So Phyl picked up a second job working in a warehouse a couple weeks ago so that we could put all the excess money toward student loans (yay paying loans off early!). His job is basically to sort and grade many different sheets of plywood. Today I learned something about that from a factoid he just posted on Facebook during his break. Apparently birch and maple are very similar and hard to tell apart. One difference you can look for is that birch is fuzzy to the touch.
And now you know!
Is birch cheaper?
ReplyDeleteAccording to Phyl, yes it is.
DeleteIt seems like they wouldn't have enough wood sorting work to keep Phyl busy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the learning about the wood. I always wish I could remember the names
of trees.
