Ever have the slightily out of flat board and just can’t find what’s causing it to wiggle? One of the three boards I’m preparing for a panel (about 4’ long, 6” wide each), just won’t go flat. I’ve checked side to side down the length with a straight edge, end to end across the width with a straight edge, checked twist with winding sticks, knocked down a few high spots, replaned the whole thing, and the board still wins.
There’s a high spot or twist or something secretly living somewhere on that surface that I just haven’t found yet.
I’d question my straight edges, bench top, technique, etc., if it wasn’t for the fact the other two boards came out well using the same tools and process.
Walked away twice now. Maybe the third time is a charm.
Just had to share a moment of challenge in the world of woodworking.
