I picture the entire store staring at Andy in horror as he walked in.

Oh God, I hope not...
I adore my husband's talents, but where he doesn't have them and doesn't realize he's wrong, it can be challenging.
It's funny, when I told the guy at the outlet store my husband had wrecked my old board, his immediate question was, "he soaked it, didn't he?" I guess some guys are predictable.

Sometimes things are just easier to hear from anyone other than your spouse.

Amy, Had DH's woodworking skills been up to par, that board would not actually have been ruined. Wood always dries out, and it could have been planed flat again, and if the slats had separated, simply slice along the lines, joint, glue (with titebond 3 - totally waterproof), and plane flat. It would have been a bit smaller, but at least it would have been saved, and he would have been saved with you! However, if you don't already have the tools available to do this, it will probably be cheaper to buy a new board. And you probably wanted that, anyway.

Dave,
My husband's woodworking skills are beyond par. (He could build a house from foundation up if asked to.) This happened years ago, and I think the argument we had over it (he was convinced it wasn't his fault) led him to a place where he wouldn't have ever attempted to fix it. Thankfully, we've both grown since then, but a sore spot nonetheless.
I bought a bamboo board to replace my beautiful maple board, but was never happy with it. When that board died I wanted a new maple board, but technically didn't need one. So, his driving through Effingham was happy luck.

So he could have rescued it! Did you throw it away yet (I guess so, if it was years ago)? Sometimes (usually) I keep things like that to cut into useable pieces, to make another item with. I really have too many pieces of scrap wood down there.

Dave,
We have an 800 sf garage, and it's filled to the brim with "Andy stuff," just as the kitchen is filled with "Amy stuff." The boards are long gone...

I am loving my new board...24x18x2 end grain. It's beautiful, and extremely functional.
