I've tried searching for this on google but I'm coming up empty, probably because I don't know what to call it. I bought some air dried rough sawn ash (guy claims 3-years) I found on craigslist and I decided to mill some of it tonight and after several passes over the jointer it came out really splotchy. I'm kind of new at this so I don't know why it looks like this and I'm hoping someone can tell me. I've always bought kiln-dried wood, is this something to do with the drying method? Admitted, this wood is pretty bad and full of knots and some boards have flaky wood sections that may be rot. If it wasn't dusk when I bought it I might have been able to see it a little better and know not to buy it.
