Started a project that requires 3 pieces each of maple, walnut, cherry, and padauk, 1/2" x 5" x 14". Used kiln dried boards ~4 foot long, 5/4 maple, 4/4 walnut, cherry, and padauk. I resawed the lumber to 9/16"~5/8". All of it except the cherry came out flat enough to crosscut and plane to size. The cherry warped and cupped to the point of being unusable. Got another piece of 4/4 cherry from a different supplier and crosscut the pieces to approximate length before resawing instead of running the full length of the piece like I did the first time. Worse result with same cupping and even a little twist thrown in for good measure.
Is this happening 'cause of something I'm doing, or is the God of Cherry just messing with me? I really don't want to joint 1/2" off of these boards, but if y'all think that's my only option I'll try it.
Thanks for your help.
