well, b) looks suspiciously like a TEdRem special, which means one of three only* things:
1) desman is another real woodworking term chosen by TEd
B) b) is a real def'n for some other woodworking term submitted by TEd as a red herring
iii) someone else has submitted a woodworking def'n hoping to garner votes from those suspecting 1), as above

actually, I don't really like any of the other def'ns all that much either; but I shall return sometime before the deadline to cast a vote for the real one. [hi Milo!]

*I suppose there are other permutations and combinations here, but I didn't want to belabor my already weak, and pointless, point.
