Heisig story:

You might think of the frame this character refers to as the sort of frame we have created by drawing a dark line around this kanji and its explanation. Then think of that line as made of very thin wood; and finally note how each time the line bends it forms a 90° angle, thus giving us the nine and the ten.

Koohii stories:

1) [alkulp] 22-10-2007(176): wood at 90 (9 * 10) degrees.

2) [javiergakusei] 24-10-2007(93): Nine out of ten picture frames are made out of wood. The rest are made of metal or plastic.

3) [uberclimber] 11-12-2010(40): A good wooden frame has perfect right angles at each corner: ninety degrees at each one. 枠 (わく) : frame, slide.

4) [Dualta] 8-5-2008(12): Nine-tenths of all frames are made of wood (9 over 10).

5) [Es2Key] 27-1-2011(9): Wooden frame 9x10.
