I intend to use solid oak skirting on my self build.
Various carpenters have stated that using a compression gun (as their preference, for speed of fixing obviously) to effectively project nails under high pressure into the wood (and the masonary to the rear) will/ should NOT cause the oak to split/ crack.
My instinct says to me (as have a couple of non carpenters) that screws should be used instead.
Any ideas from carpenters or otherwise would be apreciated?
