Last weekend I was building a simple panel cutting sled and grabbed a piece of 5" wide 4/4 scrap poplar to use as a fence. Yeah, I know poplar is not the best choice but it's what I had. I proceeded to face joint, plan to thickness, edge joint and then rip to size. Final dimensions = 31" long, 1.5" wide, 3/4" thick. When finished, laid it across the table saw and it was perfeclty flat on all 4 sides.
Did all the milling Saturday and came out Sunday morning and looked at it and you'd thought I was trying to make a pretzel, severe twist. The scrap has been in my garop (garage-shop) for about 3 months so it should have had plenty of time to acclimate. Is this just one of those things that can happen sometimes or is there a part I'm missing?
Thanks guys,
Jeremy
