I was carrying wood back to the shop that I am building, when I was reminded of a woodworking tip that someone taught me years ago.

They said to never lean lumber lengthways against a wall.

It will cause the boards to bend as gravity pulls on it.

Always lay lumber out flat and supported.

Sounds weird, but it is true.

makes sense, didn't know that

I remember basically ruining a bo as an early teen.

Yes, you reminded me of that rule! My dad taught me that one.
