Yes they would. S2S boards have the top and bottom surfaces planed flat.
There will be exceptions just like with some S4S which may no longer be
flat or straight.


I think I brought home a 9' exception the other day. It looked pretty
good laying on its face in the store. But resting on an edge both ends
*curve up*. I'm going to cut it up anyway, so it will do fine.


I glanced down at my new Maple board this morning, which has taken
temporary residence in the family room, and it has gone straight. To my
surprise, it looks perfect now. Surely, it's either my clean living or
the humidifier in the next room! ; )

I know what they say about letting wood adjust to it's new surroundings.
Well, there ya go! : )
