Greetings folks,
I have lost my reference to the shrinkage/expansion charts for hardwoods. I am attaching a red oak table top to its apron. The top is 35 inches wide and 1 inch thick. The wood is well acclimated to my garage and the temperature has been 100 degrees Farenheit with low to moderate humidity. How much shrinkage should I allow for during the winter when it is cooler and low humidity?
Thanks in advance.
