Splitting Woodblocks - lower purity in the woodchips

I just splitted a woodblock with 34.19 merc and the resulting chips have 29.59 merc. This does not make any sense
- its the same material only in a different consistency.

Am I correct that you need some sharp tool equipped to split wood blocks into chips? Maybe the tool affects purity

yes, this is my guess too. But it still does not make sense: Why should an entire physical/mechanical process like splitting in half/quarter/.../chips affect the "chemical" composition of an item?

Well, you try to find a real world explanation for a process / property which doesn't exist in real world.
In the world of Salem, where wood can be lead-pure or mercury-pure, apparently contact of said wood with metal / tools of different purity can affect its purity as well.
That's how it works.

Based on the old believes it does
. Well... towards biles anyway.
Lets just mention punching walls and brickhouses to dust as an example of realism.

Real men use spades, did you not get the memo ?

I was just fiddling with this last night. I tested the following:
1 of each: Woodblock(All Elements)
1 of each: Singing Log(All Elements)
Using both metal axes and axes of all purities in compositon.
My results are that in every instance, the higher elements dropped, and the lower ones raised. There is no effect from the tool used. Chopping a tree down has no effect, nor did chopping blocks from the log. It seems the chips upon splitting attempt to average back out to 25/25/25/25. Why? I have no idea.

You should find that the wood chips that drop from planing boards will be the purity of the board planed.

Chief can you test splitting a Moldy/Warped Board and see if it attempts to average itself again?
Many thanks.
