QUIZ QUESTION BELOW for Movement of Resawn Wood Now, in the image below what you see, is 4 different pieces of wood looking at them from one end after you have run them through the table saw. You are re-sawing this lumber on your table saw, and after you make your first cut, you immediately see your wood bends one way or the other, or it does not bend at all. In examples A,B,C,D, name the reason why the lumber warped or bent the way it did for each scenario. The Winner is Announced! 4-29-2014 Congratulations Spence Bloom! You are the winner of our Woodcraft Magazine 2 yr Subscription!!!!! My o my, how close this was guys, you all were so tight and it all came down to wording, in the last case "D". The only Patriot Woodworker who answered on the premise that the wood had just been cut or processed was Spence Bloom. Spence stated "D indicates the board was wetter on the left side, as if the left side sat on a damp surface. Again, the damper side swells and becomes convex. It looks like the slice taken from the right might have been as damp and kept it in balance until it was sliced off, making the current right side relatively dry compared to the left." "D" is the only answer that separated our contestants!!!! How close is that!!!! All the answers were so good, that I wish we could spring for a 2 Yr Subscription for all of you, but we cannot and I am sorry folks. So the prize goes to Spence! Way to go Spence!!!! Spense, please PM me your address so we can get this subscription started! And thank you all for participating, and stand by for more fun in the near future! This quiz was gleaned from Tage Frid's book, "Tage Frid Teaches Woodworking" The full excerpt is shown below.
