Caught a stat about wood movement that blew my mind
I was reading an article from the USDA Forest Products Lab the other day (nerdy, I know) and found out that a single 12-inch wide oak board can shrink almost a quarter inch from summer to winter. That's a wild amount of movement when you think about how tight we try to fit everything on a job. I always knew wood moved, but I never put a real number to it like that. Has anyone else run into issues because they didn't account for seasonal humidity swings on a project?
