Lumber yard keeps sending warped two-by-fours
It wastes my day straightening them out. How do you check wood before it leaves the yard?

Lay each two-by-four on a flat surface and sight down the length... any curve will be obvious. Reject boards that don't sit flat without rocking. It's a quick check that saves hours later.

Actually, sighting down the board won't catch a TWIST. You gotta check for that separate by looking at both ends.
