Why does nobody talk about walnut moving that much after one hot week
I had a walnut face frame job in a garage here in Tucson and the homeowner texted me Monday that a seam had opened up about 1/16 inch. I grabbed my moisture meter and the walnut was sitting at 11% when I'd cut it, but it had dropped to 6% after that 108 degree stretch. I always figured walnut was pretty stable once it came inside, but that 5% swing was enough to move it after a week in the dry heat. Now I'm wondering how many of you let stock sit in the customer's space before the final cut, and how long do you give it?

Ha, and I thought my ex was the only thing that moved that fast after a hot week.
