After gluing my boards together I found them to be a little off. Nothing huge, but enough cause me concern. I already had them planed to my desired thickness and once glued were too wide to joint or plane. Maybe I should have glued them first then hand planed. But I may have been off on the thickness of each edge.
Anyway, the question I want to ask is, If you have boards that are slightly warped/bowed, should you push them flat thru the cut or just cut them as they are?
I pushed them flat believing I would be able to clamp them closed at the edge when joining them. Was this the right choice?
The edges are mitered, but I will also be using dovetail splines for additional holding and looks.
I know in a perfect world there would be perfectly flat boards, but what if they are not?
Thanks for your help
