I am a noobie, so this may be one of those dumb questions.
How much warping and twisting is acceptable from my local wood supplier? I certainly do not mind running it through the joiner and planer a couple of times. It seems that if I buy 4/4 or 5/4 lumber, at BEST I am getting 3/4" of good material.
I try to get the straightest pieces available, but still have to joint/plane quite a few times. Usually 4-5 times on joiner, then at least that many times on planer. I have Delta X5 joiner, Delta 13" planer. Experiences with b.e. maple, h. maple and cherry. I joint one edge and one flat side, rip to width, joint ripped edge and plane other flat edge.
Is this par for the course and I am just whining, or should I look for another supplier?
