Sorry, but my take on reactionary wood is -- don't use it. I have a
solid oak diningroom table that was fine for many years, but one
particularly dry summer, it split along the glue joint. If you joint
a piece of reactionary wood and use it in an application that has
significantly different humidity, it is going to warp or curl unless
you are using it in a application that uses short pieces.

I'm a little confused here Ed. What does reactionary wood have to do
with straightening S2S on a TS instead of on a jointer?
And what is 'reactionary' wood anyway? Sort of right wing ultra conservative
wood? I wouldn't touch the stuff either.
