Useful brain fart...
I was thinking about tree ring counting and estimating the age of a wood thing.
It occurred that the farther away from the core of the tree a ring is, the shallower the arc over a given distance and angle and average distance between rings.
Extrapolating, it may not be necessary to count each and every ring of a tree to estimate it's age. It can even be used on furnature.
