Not sure if that is the correct term. I'm making small boxes, somewhere between 1" - 2". So far, the only wood I've used is kd quartersawn white oak and maple of unknown species. Both came from the only decent yard in the area.
When cutting lids, beads, tenons, rims, there is always small pieces of wood that break away. I'm using techniques from Richard Raffan and Alan Lacer.
For now, I'm not too concerned but there is a group project coming up that I'll be submitting to and I don't want to submit an inferior work.
The project will involve turning green wood using 3 - 5 different species but I get the chance to dry them myself.
Can you offer suggestions to help eliminate this problem?
Thanks,
Burt
