Having this problem with cypress right now and the best answer we have found is to roll the cant 180 at the first sign of daylight visible under any bedrail. I got into so much of it I've just about learned when its going to go up by watching the boards come from around the heart. After seeing slightest daylight the next board without flipping may result in 1/8 to 3/16 of daylight..We've been having a tough time. Good luck. MJ

Stress is tough to relieve as you are sawing.  Yes, wannasaw, flipping 180° at the very first sign of cant lift is the best way to produce uniform lumber from troublesome logs.
