WOODWORKING quiz FOR 14 Oct 04
Good Evening Friends,
The other day I received 108 BF of 4/4 poplar and of all the boards I found three knots. One was an ingrown knot while the other two were encased, and one looked loose. All knots were close to the ends of the boards.
What action should be taken before I run them through my planer after they have acclimated to my shop for about a week?

You should turn on the dust extractor.

WOODWORKING QUIZ ANSWER for 14 Oct 04
Good Evening Friends,
You all have some very good advise, however it would be a shame to loose part of a good board to chop off the whole end where the knots are.
The ingrown knot will not come out when run through the planer, but the encased ones might. So rather than lose some good lumber I just drill the encased knots out, leaving the balance of the width of the board for good use.
Thank you for your support,
