Reply to comment by nagmay in Basement wall framing, slight gaps due to crowning of studs. Please advise on next steps if any are needed. by Warsaw14

Quick clarification, you mentioned large bows but did you mean crown?

It is regional, but I usually refer to "crown" when referring to joists and bow when referring to studs or raw framing lumber.

In example: Joists should always be crowned up. Studs can be bowed in either direction, but the direction should be the same for all the studs in a single wall.
