While disscusing the way a clamping project was being done in the shop the other day,what I've allways refered to as a clamping 'caul' someone insisted was properly called a 'kull'. I know this is a silly question, but in the interest of knowing what the heck we're talking about, which would be the correct terminology?.

It's a caul. Although that term isn't in my regular dictionaries as a stick of wood, it does appear in the Oxford English Dictionary, after all the other meanings (woman's cap, spider web, cabbage, membrane), in a related sense: "A thin piece of wood, stone, or the like, inserted under an object to level it or steady it."
The Hamlyn Book of Woodworking describes "Caul Veneering."
The rest of my woodworking books are at my office, so I can't consult them for more references, but I've always heard and used "caul."
