>Hey Derek,

People tend to forget that not everyone has the same vocabulary. The DNA thing also threw me the first time I saw it.

DNA = denatured alcohol

Punky = wood that has degraded to the point that it is much softer than normal

Sorry about that. I'm sure we all want to include everyone in the conversation.

By the way, welcome aboard!

>Sorry Derek! I usually type out alcohol for just that reason, but I got lazy tonight. My bad. Welcome to the site. Don't think we have a glossary, but just holler if you see a term you don't understand. That's how everyone learns. :)
