Bums and farts....can you believe it???
I suspect that you were really looking for the meaning of the word Alburnum, which is the term given to sapwood, or the white pithy bit under the bark of a tree.
Speaking of white pithy bits, one of my favourite informative links related to woodwork and traditional methodology is the one to Alburnam's Archive, but I am not sure who Alburnam is.
Yours very truly,

Mr Midge, you seem to have hit the nail on the head! Therefore you get the NOD!
Whacko, that is a big one isn't it.
As for the spelling, according to my book of words it is ALBURNIUM so that is how I have spelt it. Should I be wrong then please accept my humblest apology!
I shall be away visiting the big city for a while so please carry on without me gentlepersons.
As if the gentlepersons need encouragement. :D :D :D :D :DQuote:
