When to call a yard on defect boards

We've covered this.  Between the fact that walnut is naturally defect-riddled and knotty and gnarly to begin with, and the fact that most of the clear logs get sent to China before we even get a chance to set eyes on them...NHLA allows a lower grading scale for walnut.

It is what it is.  No point in getting all whiny about it.  Unless you have an old Unisaw to trade, you're just gonna have to hold your nose and accept it as part of life.

Here's a great article that Shannon wrote on the subject.  Let's call it case closed, shall we?

we absolutely shall not. 

I can't whine to my wife about it so you guys get the overflow.
