Would you use material with hairline cracks?
These are some blanks for a glue up that will become the top of a plant/candle stand, and I noticed one of them has some hairline cracks. Even though I have plenty of thickness to plane them out I worry they might reappear. I'm not worried about them weakening the piece but I certainly dont want them to show in the top. Should I get some other material?
What causes this? This wood was air dried. All from the same board but not all of them exhibit cracks.
Useable or firewood?
