Troubleshooting

Stripwood is splitting when cutting.

Use a finer-toothed saw blade, cut slowly, and consider pre-drilling holes near the edges to prevent splitting.

The wood is not smooth after cutting.

Ensure your saw blade is sharp. Lightly sand the cut edges for a smoother finish.

Wood warps after being cut.

Store the stripwood in a dry, stable environment, and avoid exposing it to extreme temperature changes.
