Droppnäsa is a myth, it works just as well without.
It is not a myth, it is a physical law that the water drops directly then, instead of the capillary forces pulling it into the board's edge, where it stays until it air dries.
But as I wrote, the most important thing is that the end grain is painted/treated. I also wrote that droppnäsa was a bit of overkill, but it is absolutely not a myth, it is physical fact. But maybe you are subject to different physical laws since you call it a myth 😉
The lower one has likely grown on a nutrient-poor north slope. The upper one in another location. These differences can exist within the same plot. It looks like the lower one dried too quickly and cracked. For a panel, I would actually prefer the upper one. Cracks mean a risk of water being pressed in. A&O is that they are primed with oil and painted well. They should not be put up and remain untreated and get wet.
It's not a myth; it's a physical law that the water is released immediately, instead of capillary forces drawing it into the board's end grain, where it stays until it has air-dried.

The link is there. Just read it. Dense wood is definitely not a guarantee that the wood is good.
Possibly more durable floorboards.
I know, I don't want to read the whole article, just get a complete quote. What I was trying to highlight was that it becomes like clickbait. The only reason I had to click was to read the next sentence. I can't be bothered with the rest. It was an exceptionally bad place to cut off the quote, that's all I'm saying, no offense and I get that it probably wasn't intentional. If you want to read more and deepen your understanding, it's good and necessary to have the link, but it just required the rest of the last sentence for the quote to feel completely complete. The reason for this is...

Imagine having you at a workplace...
The paragraph was long and I included what I wanted to highlight.
The passage was long and I clipped what I wanted to highlight.
Yes, imagine how much better the workplace becomes when communicating effectively without wasting others' time by requiring them to click on links to be convinced of what you want to highlight. The passage had only ten more words. The last ten words were what supported what you wanted to highlight. With ten more words, the link becomes a reference instead of something one has to click on and search for the right passage to understand how what you're highlighting is possible. Good luck at work😀
That was a really good contribution to the discussion
The end grain should ALWAYS be painted when repainting the facade. Even many new houses with vertical facade paneling lack treatment of the end grain, which should be fixed ASAP if you want to avoid future problems.
To be really meticulous, vertical facade panels should also be beveled at the end ("drip nose") to prevent water from settling on the bottom edge of the panel.
I have a simple northern Swedish cottage from the 1800s with untreated vertical board facade that is so old the nails are ungalvanized, do you mean that I will avoid future problems if I paint the facade?
It's a big "Yes!" to that question! At least here, it's usually just junk left....
Byggmax buys its timber from the same suppliers as the competitors. O/S at Byggmax is the same sorting as O/S at Beijer.
However, if you look at reject at Byggmax for 7:-/meter and compare it to Beijer's O/S for 49:-/meter, of course, there's a difference, but it doesn't have to do with the name on the sign; they are different products.
There is usually a lot of variation as it's cut today when the largest possible quantities are needed.
When working at a sawmill, we used a completely different method.
We always sawed planks at 50-75 mm either with a mitt-ex (the log is centered so that all heartwood/core ends up in one plank) or an inner-ex where two planks are taken from the center and share the heartwood/core.
Then we took outer-ex outside of these MX or IX.
Then outside of these, we took boards.
There wasn't a chance that the boards would have core or cracks.
