Popular Post curlyoak Posted July 27, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 Frank Miller lumber in Union city, Ind. One of the largest mills for QSWO. I have been dealing with them for years. They deal in lumber by freight cars on trains. For us they have the retail desk. Not retail prices. The last batch I got from them looks beautiful. Sometimes looks are deceiving. After I dressed the oak first a face on the jointer then the thickness planer. Some of the boards would loose their flatness after being planed. Some would dress flat and distort after I'd rip it. One of the benefits of using qswo is the lack of distortion. I called the mill and after a few pictures they gave me a full credit. Over the years there have been a few issues with other mills. Before I could explain they refused. I never expected a full credit. I am pleased and amazed. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 Do you suppose it had to do with the way it was dried or almost dried? I wonder if they received complaints from others that bought from that batch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Near the ground the tree is wider and slopes in. Adds a lot of cross grain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
