Reactionary wood is wood that was improperly dried and or wood that may have
been under stress while the tree was growing. Typically wood taken from
limbs that grow closer to horizontal will have more internal stress. This
becomes a problem when sawing/ripping. As you rip the board it will tend to
want to close back up and pinch the blade or it can bow open, either way you
end up with a board that is no longer straight.

So, wood that bends before you use it is proactive wood? G
