	Mode Splitting in Wood Bats
		Wood bats manufactured for amateur and youth players are not made from the same quality of wood as those made for professional players.
		Optimal grain density is around 6-10 layers per inch, though it is possible for two wood samples with 3-5 layers per inch or 12-20 layers per inch to have similar properties.
		The wave speed along (parallel to) the grain is lower than the wave speed across (perpendicular to) the grain, so the frequencies should be higher when the bat is tapped along the grain in the direction you want to the ball to hit.

	PASTE WOOD FILLING (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		If the wood was especially coarse grain to start with, it will result in a smoother surface but not necessarily be "glass smooth" unless a second application is performed.
		The grain texture of the wood can be very smooth or highly textured, but by itself has nothing to do with the finish sheen level.
		If the wood surface has dents, dings, and gouges that can not be removed by steam injection, we do not recommend paste wood filling because any putty used to fill the prior damages will not look good with paste wood filler.

		Wood density is measured by calculating its specific gravity -- the weight of a volume of wood compared to the same volume of water.

	Creating Faux Wood Finishes

	Re: Wood grain? - PowerCADD Forum
		I haven't created a wood grain hatch (yet), but I frequently simulate wood grain in architectural details by using the WildTools 'blend' tool.
		I draw an irregular polygon line near each side of the object to be woodgrained, making sure the two polygons don't look too similar.
		The result is a wood grain effect that transitions from the first wood grain polygon to the last wood grain polygon, creating an annular ring effect similar to wood.
