Why'd this board break?
bjrogg:
Which side is the back?
Jake Spoon:
The back is the side against the picnic table in both pictures.
bjrogg:
Looks like it failed in tension. I have never tried hickory but from what I hear it is really good in tension.
You mentioned some type of backing? It wasn’t spliced there or something?
I don’t see anything in the tiler that would have indicated that.
Bjrogg
Jake Spoon:
It was backed with three layers of fiberglass tape + Titebond. They were continuous sections.
superdav95:
Yes interesting. Did you manage to avoid grain run off and we’re you able to get to a single growth ring on you back prior to the tape?
