Alan:

Redwood is especially bad as far as splitting goes. Close grained hardwoods,
such as maple, don't splinter nearly as bad. And, yes, you do have to Clamp
the sacrificial board when using the mill. When using the router, you're
generally pushing the workpiece with the sacrificial piece, so no clamping
is necessary.

| Thanks Jerry,
|
