Al,
It is very stable and does not split out like a lot of other "hardwoods". (No, Del, I'm not talking about "Select Hardwood".<G>) Remember the Back Checks are screwed on. That means that an undersized hole is drilled in the wood and then the threaded rod is, essentially, forced into that hole and makes a "thead" as it does that, without splitting out. K?<G>
O.K., here's another question: What is the best wood for Threads, such as Square Grand Legs? Let's relabel the posts as "Wood Threads?" K?<G>
