Finish Carpentry Advice To Help You
When using hardwoods such as oak or maple or whatever stay away from knots in the wood. If you shoot near a knot you risk splitting the wood. The wood will undoubtably split on you at one point or another. If the wood splits off just glue and clamp the little piece and if possible use this piece in an area that is not noticeable such as inside a closet or back side of a bedroom door.

Hey - this happened to me, only I couldn't clamp it so I used a piece of tape. I let it dry and the next day I took the tape off, steel wooled the tape residue off and it looks great!
Thanks for the tips - keep the coming:)
