What method is commonly utilized to check for bad timber on wooden
vessels?


The "Jack London" pen knife test. Push the pen knife into the timber or
planking with the flat of the palm. If the blade enters the wood more
than 1/8 inch before your palm hurts, she's not worth a damn.
Move along little doggy!
