and vibration .

Screws . Screws are designed to reduce
splitting and to give you the strongest joint .
✔
Always use fine thread screws in hardwood. A fine thread displaces
less timber when being driven, reducing the chance of splitting .
✔
Lubricate the screw with paraffin or bees wax to reduce friction when
driving .

Before you drive a screw home, screw it part way out then back in
again . This removes any wood shavings or sawdust from the hole,
reducing the chance of splitting .
