Hello. I engaged a landscaper to build a new fence and a raised deck which has been done in Merbau timber. Some spots where the nails have gone in are splintered. See attached pictures (albeit a little blurry). My question is: Is this normal? Should it be 'sanded' back so it is smooth? I feel a little disappointed with the job but not sure if that is normal with timber or just a 'shoddy' job. Feedback most welcome!
