Wood will do what wood will do! We drum-sand each board completely flat before we drill and engrave it.
Wood will do what wood will do! We drum-sand each board completely flat before we drill and engrave it.
However, when we add hundreds of holes, engraving, pockets, and finishing, sometimes the wood reacts, especially well-figured and wide (over 12 inches) boards.
Wood can do all kinds of crazy things – warp, twist, cup, crook (wain), kink, and even crack – as the internal tensions are released and the moisture content re-settles.
Sometimes this happens within hours and sometimes not for years. Changes in climate – humidity, and temperature – can also instigate these changes.
Again, we can do little to correct this natural occurrence, except to offer extra felt pads that can be applied underneath to re-balance the board.
Often we use a smaller pad or two under a larger one to add even more depth where needed.
If you have an issue with movement in your board, please get in touch with us and we’ll arrange for a selection of felt pads to be sent out to you.
If we notice the beginnings of movement in your board before shipping, we’ll include extra pads for you with the board.
Sometimes, giving the board a little time to acclimatize is all that is needed. if the movement becomes too much for you and there’s an email and we will carry placement with you send an email to admin@clearwinner.live-website.com
