Reply To: Advice on wood movement after marking out for table project

this is why speed is important in joinery, I try and do all the joinery on a project in a single day so that to minimise risk of movement, it’s normal with oak for movement to happen, you really have to be careful how you store the wood, never leave it overnight on a workbench top, air needs to flow all around the wood evenly. I’ve had pine move a lot as well, not just oak, but since learning about stacking wood, it’s not really been a problem.
