Reply To: Does spare wood distance really matter?

Dear Clint,
I posted something similar to this 2 months ago:

I was wondering where this figures of 2 cm comes from and is it really that important? If you look at the picture below, you can see that the dehydrations stops at the diaphragm and this prevent further necrotic penetration. The diaphragm is depositing polyphenols and other substances around the wound, and/or producing a callus able to seal the injury.
You can find more information about this here, https://doi.org/10.20870/IVES-TR.2021.4817

You can find my full post on page 4.

Best regards,
Piet
