Sage advice about wood splitting

The simplest and most effective way to prevent wood from splitting when nailing is to flatten the point on the nail. What happens is that the flattened point crushes through the wood instead of separating the grain. It works nearly every time, no matter what size nail or type of wood. Try it - you'll be amazed. I learned that tip 40 years ag o from a really great carpenter. PROSE7984
