Question: Is this a massive plank or quarter-sawn strips glued together? If it is a massive plank you should count on it warping. It is two pieces (both 2" thick) glued together. I don't need it until next spring. I can get it close, leave it for a few months, and then finish it. Would that help? This is probably the wrong answer but I actually mean this: Use the oak for something else. Buy some light wood like Western Red Cedar and shape a board. Add unidirectional carbon for bending stiffness and strenght. Sheat in glass-epoxy and paint. Oak is about 50% heavier than mahogany, but I actually want the weight, so that is not a problem. Besides, it is free and the cedar would be about $50. |
