All wood dehumidifiers at best buy workers need to be aware of wood movement when building furniture projects. Failure to consider this important factor can cause wood panels to crack or split.

Coping with the wood movement

The structure of a piece of wood has been compared with a bundle of straws. The straws represent the cells and capillaries of the wood. When a tree grows, water and food are transferred up through the cells and carried throughout the tree. Once a tree falls, the free water in the wood is lost rather quickly, but the bound water trapped in the straw-like cell is slower to dissipate.

As the level of bound water is reduced, these straw-like cells get narrower in diameter but maintain their length. This is the fundamental reason that wood expands and contracts across its width but has almost no expansion length-wise…
