Don't you love it when ....
Neighbour commissioned a sink benchtop; they are supplying the timber. Small job, easy, right?
First timber they come up with was sappy Rimu 9"x3/4", full of borer it turned out. I called them into the shop after planing it, got them to take a look and they took it away again (1 hour blown) and came back with some 6" x 1 1/2" macrocarpa. Planed it, gauged it, trued everything up ready for gluing. Lots of tiny and not so tiny dead knots. Hard to find a decent layout. Well.
Left the shop to get a cuppa and a mask-free breather and came back to find the planks had warped, as well as cupped, visibly since planing nary 1 3/4 hours before. Oh ye gods. [***censored***] I just hope the ends aren't going to start to split, since I have cut to within 6" of final length ...
