Bone
Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-006806
To sight along the edge of a piece of lumber or a constructed assembly to visually check for straightness or flatness without using a straightedge. This technique involves looking down the length of the material from one end, using the eye to detect any curves, twists, or bows along the surface or edge. Boning is a quick, preliminary assessment method, often followed by more precise measurement with tools like a winding stick or a level.
