Then there's the new Boston I tuned last week, with the alternating light
and dark vertical laminations and the 14mm thick bridge cap that looked for
all the world like it was flat sawn, as near as I could get to it to see
(or not to see as it may turn out). Maybe Terry will check his for us and
educate me.

I still think it's to make them easier and quicker to bend.
