Hi I was watching a program the other day and the guy was putting up a massive fence and he paid more attention to detail than some would. He kept making reference to checking for the crown on the timber so that when he fitted a piece of timber he would fit it a certain way round so that it would struggle to bow ie implying by knowing where the crown is will indicate which way it will bow, if it does.
So can anyone tell me what the crown is and how to recognise it and maybe point me to a link that has pictures please?
Will every piece of timber have a crown?
Not all wood bows so is that perhaps when it has no crown or is it pot luck and it all has a crown?
Any info appreciated.
