    Pro tip from a professional joiner regarding your first board; if you're gonna discard the sapwood, do it before surfacing and thicknesses, especially on thin or crown cut boards. You'll remove less of the good stuff down the road.

      I used to really fret when drying lumber. It sort of dawned on me as I ripped a cupped slab for jointing that most of my slabs ended up being rough-cut down anyhow. I quit worrying as much about drying.

  • @richpeggyfranks490

    It seemed like you made this video for me. I recently bought a barn load of locally cut walnut and pecan. It was live edge and about 6/4 thick. Also, from an estate sale, air dried and cheap, cheap, cheap. It sat under a tarp on my trailer for a few months. Finally, I decided it was time to begin milling. I also don't use live edge material. As I began, the wood turned to dust. The interiors of the slabs were totally eaten by bugs (the exterior looked fine). I ended up with a couple dozen 3"-4" wide boards, 30" to 40" long. Everything else was junk. A local sawyer said the slabs were not stickered when stacked which trapped moisture in the slabs. This provided a banquet for bugs for years. And, on your other topic, when I'm making multiple pieces, I tend to figure out a great way to do it when I'm on the last few pieces. Or, sometimes I struggle through the whole job and then think of a better way in my sleep. Haha. Great info-taining video. Thx.

    @billparrish4385 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    On the first example, unless you need long pieces of straight, unbroken grain in your project, like a pair of skis or stiles for an entry door or something, I usually opt for cutting the warped slab into smaller pieces first, according to the needs of the project. That takes out a lot of the warp, in the sense that warp over 6 feet is a deeper bow than cutting that into 2 3-foot pieces and the resulting now-shallower bow over 3 feet, for example. The smaller pieces can then have less thickness removed in the planer, ending up with thicker pieces for your project, which can be resawn or whatever you need.
    And, I don't know, I like leaving a little sapwood in a walnut project, for the contrasting colors.
    None of which contradicts the underlying truth that something too good to be true, is in fact too good to be true. 😎

    You could also take 5-10 minutes or so and just stamp out a whole deck, so they are all ready to go. But I can also see how creating the list "from scratch" each time can be part of the process of making the list in the first place. Like a small dopamine reward. ✅

    When you got to “there’s always a simpler way,” I immediately thought “hey, what if I just cut an index card in half?” Sure enough, playing cards are 2.5”x3.5”, so half a 4x6 is just a little taller and wider than your playing cards, while half a 3x5 is only a little shorter (many apologies to my metric friends, but I think you can visualize this without too much effort). Index cards are usually ruled in landscape, so you end up with something an awful lot like what you showed us. No little checkboxes though, but at least you get the lines for free.
