Split boards are easily repaired if you detect the splits before you incorporate them into a piece of furniture. If you notice the split in the wood after you build something, you may have a bigger problem. To avoid the risk of splits, always cut off the last 2 or 3 inches from a piece of lumber before using it.f you notice the split in the wood after you build something, you may have a bigger problem.

Flatten the tip of the nail before driving it at the end of a board. The flattened tip punches a plug of wood from the board and reduces splitting. If you're using deck screws, predrill the holes at the end of the boards. Always cut out pieces that span at least two joist spaces. This keeps the new boards from splitting as they age. For best appearance, stagger the splices from one row to the next by at least one joist space.
