<p>[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 282286, member: 5066"]LOL, OK! oak is some weird stuff no doubt, particularly riven oak. Joiners worked it "green" or "wet" which to a cabinetmaker is HERESY! cabinetmakers work their wood dry at 10-15% moisture content to keep it from cupping, shrinking, cracking, checking, bla bla bla. But, joined wet riven oak doesn't shrink, crack, cup, check or any of those things, it just sits there like a fortress for centuries with it's only enemies, fire or bugs, WEIRD STUFF![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
