Getting closer to finishing a set of base cabinets for my wife's sewing room. I need drawer fronts now (3 fronts, 29" x 7"). I have a nice 8' piece of red oak that is 8" wide. I could get all three fronts out of it and keep the grain in line across all three.
My question is how to prep these to minimize cupping/bowing, etc. I live in the plywood world right now so only experience with hardwood is face frames, trim, etc. The board is 4/4 so I will need to plane it. Should I bring it into the house for a while to acclimate and then plane it, or vice-versa? Looking for tips on the sequence. Thank you.
