Of the pinblock material available commercially today, at this very moment, how many are composed, constructed, assembled, or otherwise stacked from quarter sawn maple? Hands? Now, how many are etc, etc, from rotary cut maple, beech, or some other Whole Earth substance? Hands? I understand that the point was/is that a plain old chunk of maple isn't pinblock material, but it seems to me to be an unwarranted assumption that for something to qualify as pinblock material, it must be cross plied, quarter sawn maple.
