9 Steps to Sizing Rough LumberThe article applies to any board processing done to clean, straighten and square the faces and edges. The primary steps start at number four:
  • Joint the most concave face of the board flat
  • Plane the other face (parallel faces)
  • Joint the most concave edge
  • Rip the other edge (parallel edges)
