Default Interesting video on wood movement.

Geez I knew it moved, but when you see how a trapped wood movement can
appear it's remarkable.


Well, it is interesting, but not very true to real life. For one, wood does
not move as much in that direction as it does against the grain. For
another - his video does not take into consideration the constraints on the
wood. If his video were to be taken as gospel, there is not a wooden floor
in the world that would remain stable through the changing seasons. Yet
another theoretical exercise that does not reflect the real world.
