More Knots, Shakes and Splint than Expected

When sawing the stringers I recognize that the larch has more knots, shakes and splint than expected. I must cut the six meter long battens into pieces. Most of them just one to two meters long.

 Knot to be removed.

 

 Removed knots, shakes and Splint.

Yield of faultless material. Batten are just one to two meters long and have to be scarfed to 7.5m length later on.
