Must have rift cut for the legs. Should I take my block plane and try to reveal the end grain? How to you guys address that problem? I sympathize with you completely as I just purchased a butt load of walnut that wasn’t what I expected. Unfortunately, I cut the boards to rough lengths before jointing and planing. I called the supplier, semi bitching and complaining and asked if next time, I could bring a cordless skill saw to cut off a smidge of the end of the board and they said absolutely. Same goes true with a belt sander to test the surface. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
