Another improper name that drives me nuts is when people say “kerfing” instead of the proper “Kerfed linings”. A saw kerf is the void in the material after material has been removed by a saw blade. A solid lining is the interior structure that is glued to the sides to provide additional gluing surface width to bond the top and back to. When someone cuts saw kerfs into the lining to make the lining more pliable then the name changes to kerfed linings as opposed to solid linings.

Haha yeah, if pudding can become “puddin” then i guess the same can happen with purfling. I swear I’ve seen it written as purflin on more than one occasion, I’ll try to find it somewhere. I also had no idea that to “purfle” is the verb for installing purfling, and that’s in the dictionary. What a great word.
I may be guilty of using “kerfing” on occasion, I’m sorry! I’ll try to watch my mouth.
Does anyone else think of sea creatures when they hear medullary rays?
