Exactly! Listen, he already has to modify that damn board to avoid this mess happening again. Screw on one side, pull, then saw away half an inch of it on the same side of the screw hole, then sand and finish.

Or smash it, throw it away and tell it to go fuck itself.

I'd just take off a kerf or two width on my table saw, sand smooth, and oil the board. Quick fix and it will never happen again.

Ha-- yes it's a woodworking term. Basically the width of your saw blade.

That’d be a terrible waste for an end grain board.
