Bombarde16 Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Every now and then, typically when browsing the big box stores, I find a board that has gone so horribly wrong I swear that they can't possibly expect someone to pay good money for it. Alas, they still wanted full price for this: What crazy boards have you found? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon_t Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 I'd be happy if the sticks that are going to end up wonky, start off that way on the rack. Some of my worst offenders came from some 4/4 A. Mahogany. They started a full inch thick but after beginning milling, I found that they were extremely unstable. Jointed edges with a 1"bow, after sitting overnight after milling session 1, every single board had bowed and warped so badly I never used any of them.

woodbutcher Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Heres a piece of plywood from a big box store that had a mind of its own. You might see some of those little 1x2s that bend like that in the OP are sitting next to it as well. They also potato chipped.Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always on top -- in the way. -Ace- Depends on the store and manager. We had a cull box in every length material and when we saw boards that got picked over they got pulled and were cut into smaller sizes. Our dpt manager get that though. Often they'd pallet up a bunch of 2 foot lengths and sell the whole lot for dirt cheap. Often cheaper than firewood. Ply was basically the same thing. They sold the cut down sheets for more than a full sheet so often it was encouraged to keep the potato chips cut down. Again i worked at a good store with a manager that got it.
