Brian, will a fairly small and simple computer program work for you?

Here is the one I use:

On the Estimated Changes when running with default settings quarter sawn should be the "Tangential Change". At least I have *assumed* that that is what the tangential change meant. It is too much change to be length (with the grain). If you feel I am wrong let me know. I count on that little program!
