Straightening Warped Lumber Experiments Continued

In this series we took some very crooked warped lumber and straightened them. In this video we do some experiments to see if the boards will stay straight or warp again. It was suggested in the comments that there is still tension in the wood. If we rip the straightened lumber, that tension will be released and they will warp. I rip a couple of them on my Woodmizer LT15 sawmill to see what happens. I leave one of the boards out in the rain to see if it warps in the rain. With the others, I do a test to see if they will move more than regular lumber with changes in humidity. These are all ponderosa pine rough sawn lumber milled on my Woodmizer.

Mr. Wilson this is the husband watching, for some reason I seemed to have enjoyed listening as my mind just stayed still. As my better half has mentioned to you I'm a retired builder ( working hands on builder that is ) and this was very soothing to hear your voice and explanation. You have fantastic articulation skills, similar to an educator, keep up the great talking points & materials, we all learn more things as we get older. Truth be known, I know less today in my 60's as I did in my 20"s at that age I could have answered anybody's question. Not so much these days however... Cheers to you sir.

In UK here…bought a dozen 3x2 from our local ‘Big box store’…Wickes. They delivered them to my home and a third of all those they chose for my shipment were significantly crooked or bowed. Not happy with Wickes. Next time I will pick them out and sharpie my name on them in store.

Valuable experimentation for these times. In the New Era, I do believe boards will be sawed with some consideration for warp, dried in the proper constraints, then rapidly assembled into home components and installed in place. Educated to learn to remain straight. Then there is always the rebel with a life circumstance or a mind of their own to warp.

I’ve always heard this is how you straighten wood but it was nice to see proof. I’ve got a couple boards that needs a good straightening.

Very nice videos - I stumbled upon your first video by accident and then followed through all of them in the series. Very well done and thanks for sharing. One request - please add this one to the playlist as it only has the first 3. I searched for this on your channel. Also when you do a follow up with those remaining boards can you please also add them in the playlist. Thank you.

I worked in a woodshop years ago that did a lot of resawn lumber. We ripped a lot of 2x4s and 2x6s down to 1x4/6s (truckloads a day) I've seen beautiful perfectly straight lumber twist like a noodle as it came off the saw, usually in multiple directions.

There are claims, that some keeping in water wash out chertain sticky substance. After that woodware remains less warpy.

@robertcorleone9077 Ай бұрын

I think the issue you may be having is one side of the wood is exposed and the other side is on the ground. Kind of like burning wood. If you only expose one side it will offset the moisture balance ion the wood and it will always warp in that direction.

The only likely way a thin board like that could have invisible tension is perfectly widthwise. But they weren't like that to begin with, they were showing the tension flagrantly by twisting. So how was that supposed to happen? It's like people imagine gremlins in there. When you 'reset' them to as-cut moisture and dried them under pressure, consider what happened. The fibers deformed somewhat. My prediction is that you would see some movement as you re-moisten, ending up evenly moist and flat, and a lot of movement when drying again without restraint. Less so if some fibers were permanently buckled or snapped.

No I haven’t noticed any termites. We usually only get termites here if wood is in contact with the ground for an extended period. Which I usually don’t do around the mill. I occasionally find them at the bottom of firewood piles if the wood has been sitting on the ground for a while.

@DanielinLaTuna 6 ай бұрын

I’m not so sure; sometimes I think it’s dependent on the size of the tree and how close to the heartwood the plank is (I’m assuming plain sawn, not quarter sawn). I’ve had unprotected flat stock cup after a rain; the growth rings were widely spread, and the cupping was in the direction of the tree’s core, regardless of whether the rain fell on a surface with the rings pointing up or down.

My father was Mr. Obvious, which makes me Mr. Obvious II, and I knew that wetting boards would straighten them (since they weren't cut and stacked correctly). I also know that your next 10 videos will be about trees, (cutting, gathering, milling), interspersed with cringy dad jokes, witty observations, and trick videography. I intend to watch them to prove myself correct and for gist of further obvious comments.
