| Board Breakdown Techniques | 
|
| Anyone who buys
wood knows that boards are often far from perfect when you pull them
off the rack. Even if they’ve been surfaced, boards are often
cupped, twisted, bowed, or simply beat-up looking. So before you can turn these boards into great-looking projects, you’ll need to remove the imperfections and get the faces flat, the edges straight, and all the corners square. |
|
|
|
| This process is easy, and it works well with dimensional stock or fine hardwoods. You simply “dress” the faces, edges, and ends to reveal the “good” lumber within. |
