| Oct 17, 2018 at 13:36 | comment | added | aaron | this is a good primer on wood movement: familyhandyman.com/woodworking/wood-movement-101/view-all. Note item #6 that shows a wide board that has cupped in the direction I mentioned. This is a hazard of working with wide boards, but again it can be mitigated by lumber selection and affixing cleats, etc. | |

Growth rings perpendicular to the plane of the boards ("quartersawn" or "vertical grain") will be most stable to movement/bending, while curved/parallel will cause season warping of the boards (boards will cup in the direction that tends to flatten out the curvature of growth rings.. All of this is provided they are not constrained in some way, either to the side/frame of the furniture, or with cleats. | |
| Oct 17, 2018 at 12:24 | comment | added | Vinodh | I like wide monolithic boards but some of the makers/vendors(often they are the same entity)say that even if i procure the wide ones it is better to cut them as 6 inch wide planks and combine them for strength.I somehow do not like the idea of cutting planks and joining again. I am a novice though. So I assume monolithic ones as well provide better strength. Another aspect is I do not want gluing as I cannot confirm the makers use the non-formaldehyde ones. Usage or stress wise it is for a normal kitchen/wardrobe for a house.Thats the background.Would appreciate any insights.Thanks so much. | |
