#4two different versions above. I'm surprised to find that google image will return a good bit of both. I've always thought of the squared long as a cant, well at least within the time frame I've been woodworking.
Couldn't have told you the natural color of walnut when I was 22 other than what the middle of the tree looked like when you are cutting it to be turned into firewood.
Anyway, a boule would be potential for several flitches.
I think there's an old saying...snitches get flitches. Or mess with the boule and you'll get corns?
