Plan ahead for wood movement on your projects.


That's it. Anything you store or construct in the garage is going to have
some heavy-duty drying done to it when it comes inside an air-conditioned
space. That is, unless you actively control humidity indoors, then
acclimate to your controlled humidity for a couple of weeks prior to using
purchased lumber.

The reason woodworkers frame panels and finish both sides even when they see
only one, and practice a number of other subtle joinery tricks is to plan
for future movement.
