A technique so new and amazing that nobody else has used it... Interesting. Carbon dating works. X-ray Hocus Pocus doesn’t.
Don’t believe it. You are wrong. The carbon-14 dating took a piece of the resown part of the cloth. This Shroud IS the burial cloth of Jesus Christ.
Carbon dating works if the sample is not contaminated. The shroud sample that was taken for radio carbon dating was contaminated with cotton and other and gum dye mordant.

Carbon dating doesn’t work when the object being dated went through a fire, including being scorched and exposed to heavy wood smoke. The shroud would carbon date to a more recent date than actual because of that fire.
They were supposed to take samples for the radiocarbon dating anywhere but where they did.
They chose a portion of the Shroud which had been repaired with newer cloth using a sewing tecnique called "French Invisible Reweaving" in which the proportion of original cloth to new fibers tapers off.
The three samples used for radiocarbon dating were all taken at different depths of the repaired swatch, so they each had a different proportion of new and old threads.
The giveaway was that the ages given for each of those three samples (each done at a different lab), were all outside each others' error bars, a dead giveaway for systematic experimental error; in this case, the samples were materially different.
Carbon dating is in fact not accurate as carbon decay is related to cycles of the sins radiation which fluctuats
The X-ray technique, called WAXS, uses X-rays to measure the degradation of the linen fibers over time. It's not "hocus pocus".
