"Fred the Red Shirt" wrote I have read that Doug Fir is uniquely stable among woods in that it expands and contracts equally in both the radial and circumferential directions and so it is the only wood commonly sold as dimensional lumber while still green (others will usually be kiln dried to 12 % MC) However, I have seen Doug Fir boards cup and uncup with variations in humidity, indicating to me that this is not true. -- FF Indeed, it is not true. See http://www.woodweb.com/Resources/woo...dbook/Ch01.pdf for all you ever wanted to know about wood, and more. -- Jim in NC
