Maybe I can get a little help or advice about this one:
I really feel like a newby who has been jipped.

I received this piece of sitka spruce from Wick's aircraft about a month ago. I was looking forward to finally cutting some parts for my empennage tonight and then this happened as I started running it through the table saw. I geuss it is really green because it did'nt cut very good at all. It was a total failure. It ended up curved and bowed as it came out.
The other piece of spruce they sent with it cut nicely with no problems, but I was wondering why this one felt a little heavier. Man I screwed-up.

I have learned my lesson about trying to use green spruce. But I wonder why they would send me this wood in the first place.
I fee like I have been had by a business that does'nt care about what I am trying to do.
