| Posted in General Discussion on
I am having troublew keeping staright and true hardwood (maple) table legs cut 3/4 ” by 3/4 ” square. I am making these for a small table .
After ripping them, they move about “2 ” ugh..
Any suggestions. I need straight table legs!!!!

Seems like the wood has not been properly dried and there is a lot of residual stress being released. Try a different piece of wood. By the way, 3/4 inch square legs seems pretty small, even for a small table.
How long are the legs??? 3/4 sq. is pretty small for anything much over 18"-24" long.
