why was test not on original cloth ?

It was. The test was done on a small piece near the edge that was both representative to the whole but considered expendable compared to taking a piece out of the center. The BS about that tiny piece being interwoven later was the outrageous excuse the hoaxers made up later when the scientific test results (done independently in 3 different labs) proved they were holding a forged relic.

I thank you for enlightening me on this.

It is good to hear from someone with no ax to grind! (sarcasm)

I see. Peer reviewed science done by world class scientists, who put their reputations on the line, that has not been refuted, showing that the sample WAS NOT HOMOGENOUS with the main body of the shroud is a "hoax."

Shuckmaster, even Harry Gove, the inventor of the C-14 process that was used by all three labs has agreed that the results are invalid. Invalid sample garbage in, accurately dated garbage out!
