Joey,

Because I have a sawmill and a kiln and saw and kiln dry a lot of furniture grade pine that is much better quality that what you can get at the lumberyards and it is properly dried to 8% moisture content. I am about two and a half hours south of you just outside of Perry off Interstate 75. If you want to make a trip down for some wood, you can call me (phone # on the website hamsleyhardwood.com).
Most likely the board bowed and this is why it became wedged.
Do partial cuts like you did or let the wood dry out for 6 month or get better wood.
I'd say its worth the drive to the sawmill.
