I've learned it goes with the territory, the more you shine the more they try to dim your light, its O.k, skin like leather, I always come back:biggrin:

 

Skin like leather, artwork like Picasso

Can you explain something please? I missed out on whatever other thread contained your error but it doesn't matter I have a simple question.

I use the word 'fluted' to describe trees sometimes. To me it is the combination of raised rounded ridges of wood and the valleys between them, like corrugations. But strictly speaking the flutes are the raised parts. So when I read you writing about channels I am not clear entirely if you mean the depressed valleys or whether you mean the wood through which the tree is channeling vascular flow (which I suppose is the raised 'flutes'.

If I am to fully appreciate the discussion and the artwork, can yo clarify your terminology for me please?

Explanatory note - I was trained as a geologist and in glacial morphology flutes are ridges and channels are valleys between flutes.

I wont use the "channel" word again! but you understood see highlighted, but will add the valleys may be gone by decay, leaving strips of living tissue, or vascular pathways over an entirely decayed stem maybe totally cavitated
