    One use for a radial arm saw. Unfortunately all the work was for naught just as suspected but had to try.

    So Egon,
    Why is that wasted work? Is the wood bad? Or miscut?

    "It shrinks and develops many radial cracks." They call that character. You can charge extra for this at the right market.

    There's an article in the latest issue of WOOD magazine on flattening wood with a jig and router. Haven't read it yet, but it's mentioned on the cover.
