All About Wood...

Season 8 Episode 25: Cry Hard
Airdate:
April 26 1990
Norm and Sam helped Rebecca move in with Robin Colcord.

They carried in a pretty heavy desk.

Later, in Cheers Norm comments on the desk; "That was some heavy desk, what kind of wood was that made of?"


Must have been oak, that's one of your heavier grains.
(Norm: "Yeah?")
Yea, but as any lumberjack would tell you though, it's not the toughest one to cut through.
(Norm: "No?")

No, no. (Turns to Frasier) Hey Doc, what do you think the toughest thing to cut through is?
(Frasier: "Your unending bull.")


The truth:

Oak is ion fact one of the heavier grained woods and is often used in furniture.

The answer Cliffs question, perhaps one of the toughest woods to cut through is Ekki or Azobe, it has to be cut with a diamond saw blade and it cannot be nailed, it has to be pre-drilled.
