Wood swellling and shrinking with inevitable humidity changes is one of the
more challenging aspects of quality woodworking. And one of the most ignored.
For example, most people (even in the woodworking industry!) don't realize
a solid 24" wide Maple (or Oak or Hickory, etc.) board is likely to
vary up to one-half inch (1/2") from one season to another.
The hydraulic pressures involved can blow apart the most carefully machined
and assembled doors and cases unless the certainty of this movement is allowed
for.
We run the calculations unique to each wood species to accommodate
this wood movement. We make sure the wall cabinet backs and end
panels are shear loaded to keep a properly installed
cabinet full of your valuable heirloom china securely on the wall,
and that the shelves don't sag. We can also integrate custom features
to personalize your cabinets while doing so.
