This "clue" threw me also since the final answer was essentially "Cross Cut, dyed and Stabilized".
It made me add
"Outside bark shaved down or smoothed" thinking you did something else besides "cross cut , stabilized in dyed cactus juice" which was the final answer.
I have learned to read your posts CLOSELY!!!
yes ... always next time!
Sorry mate, I know you normally decipher my words quite well and that you get many of my hints however, I should say that, looking closely at the words I choose may be your best hint, I do try to include hints in the way I use words, I'm not saying that, they are right or not, they may represent the never ending battle to properly handle a third language.
So, in all, your thinking methods do work in many other times but sometimes you over do it and make me remind of an old saying, "less is sometimes, better...!" :wink:
Cheers
