Did you turn them here and there rather than keeping the straight of grain always on the outer edges? Of course, you CAN turn them but I find that then you have to be really careful not to pull them out of true. I only do the turning thing if I feel I have to, because of this. :-D
This sounds like good advice to me! I hadn't thought of the fact that maybe some of Salmon's hexs had been turned and weren't kept w/ the outer edges on the straight grain. This very well could be the rippling reason.
