Would any splinters though cause problems with these techniques? I presume you would inspect the piece first……Great tips ! Thank you.
Yep, splinters sticking out could be a problem for your fingertips. Checking the board first would be a great idea.

Been doing it ever since my dad taught me…..around 50 years ago 🙂
learned a new skill tonight.
Great! Hope it helps.
