soLuTroN
A
severely twisted
board is
difficult to
save. You may
salvage
short
pieces,
though,
by using
a combination of the
methods
previously
described.
DEFECTS
Checks
and shakes:
Checks are cracks
across the
growth
tittgr.
Shakes are cracks
between
the rings.
SOLUTION
These
cracks occur
at the ends
ofboards,
so
you
may simply
cut offthe
bad areas.
But
don't be too hasty.
Good nilrow
pieces
often exist
on either side
of a check.
Shakes, becaose
of their
orientation,
usually have
to be cut off. Be leery
of
boards with
excessive
shake. This may
be
a result
of the board
simply
being dropped
on one end, but shakes
also can
be a
sign
of
improper
drying.
