wood movement


Recommended Posts

Howdy from Texas!

I've just completed a kitchen island and have yet to mount the maple butcherblock top. What I'm wondering is about wood movement. The top is long grain glued, i.e. the edge of the wood is the top surface. As wood moves across the long grain, do I have anything to worry about? It would seem to me that the wood will want to move top to bottom in this glue configuration. Any thoughts?
