Yes, crook is what I meant - thank you. I can see how what you do would
work. Attaching a known quantity to the board for reference marks so that
you can run it through the bandsaw or tablesaw with minimal waste.


With a tablesaw setup on a large board you're actually creating a larger,
more unwieldy board by jigging. Lot easier and safer to snap the line and
bandsaw for reference.


If I didn't need the whole 6' in one piece I'd cut the board into two
and thus minimize the loss due to the bow.
