Don't you actually check it before buying? I did, but I missed the curve on one axis. Which I only spotted after I'd painted it up and butted it up against a straight piece of wood - the curve was obvious. I always look down the length where the foreshortening makes any curve obvious. There is usually some other chap doing the same and you give a little nod. Serious timber comes from local Avon Timber. It is straight. For joists and similar applications, a bit of curve is not a bad thing - just make sure you "camber up" each timber as you fix it, and you end up with less sag at mid span. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |
