OK here goes----
After an unscientific , fly by the seat of your pants study, done in 103 deg heat today, these are the results:
12 plugs, 6 ayc and 6 red ceda were marked on the lathe using the "The Turning Out of Round Theory" and then taken for a swim in the bathtub using "The Hydro-orientation Theory".
Of the 12 plugs tested by the TOR Theory, the results were:
8 showed the Flat side down.
4 showed the round side down.
Of the 12 plugs tested by the HO Theory,the results were:
6 showed the Open grain down.
6 showed the Closed grain down.
When they were broken down by AYC vs Red Ceda the results were:
OTR Theory:
Red Ceda 5 flat side down, 1 round side down.
Ayc 3 flat side down 3 round side down.
HO Theory:
Red Ceda 5 open grain down, 1 closed grain down.
Ayc 3 open grain down, 3 closed grain down.
Conclusion:
Between the 2 ways tested the HO Theory showed 100% accuracy.
The OTR Theory did show some consistency with the Red Ceda being that 5 out of 6 times the Flat side was down, but split 3 and 3 on the AYC. So if you didn't want to HO with Red Ceda you have a good chance of getting it right by drillin the belly holes in the open grain.However, being there are 2 sides of open grain your chances of drilling the right side are diminished.
Any questions on the validity of the results should be directed to NumbSkull, as being a Doctor and having to deceifer 100's of studies in his medical profession is the only qualified guy on the site.
Someone else will have to do "The Rollem Theory", there's not a level spot in my whole house.
The "Hold on Danny Theory" will have to wait till gas prices go down.
Tagga, ya owe me Big Time.
