in my shop that all day I could hear wood checking and splitting.
In the morning when I got to the shop everything was fine but as the day went on I kept hearing little popping noises. Finally I figured out it was all of my wood cracking!! The air was so dry today I have no idea what can be done ? ? I have a large plank of white oak that is 18" wide x 10' long and all over the face of it are these little tiny splits and checks.....I finally grabbed a spray bottle and sprayed both sides, it seemed to help. I started looking at the rest of the wood in my shop and noticed many of the ends were checking including the mahogany I had just cut. It was very strange. Anyone else have this problem ever ? ANd any advice on what to do ?
thanks
John
