Thanks to a mix-up between our company and our printer, the Spring 2009 issue of Woodworking Magazine has yet to mail to U.S. subscribers. (In an odd twist of fate, however, it did mail to our international subscribers.)

The issue will mail next week, according to our manufacturing department. As soon as it goes out, we’ll make an announcement here on the blog.

Our apologies for the delay. To tide you over until you receive your issue, I’ve posted one of the articles from the issue on two methods you can use to read the grain direction in a board. One of the techniques is well-known. The other rarely gets mentioned , but it’s the one I use the most.

You can download the article by clicking the link below.

Thanks for your patience.
