Wood Movement

Wood never stops moving. Your projects shrink in dry conditions, swell when the air turns humid, and always will.

As moisture passes into and out of the wood’s cells, the changes cause enough movement to create gaps in joints, warped panels, and splits along grain lines. You can’t stop this motion, but you can plan for it to prevent damage. You just need the right building techniques.
