   Solid Table Top. Solid wood tabletops are beautiful. Solid wood grain is much more durable than veneered surfaces and the scratches and gouges that occur over time can be easily stripped and sanded away. The only problem is, it will move quite a bit as the seasons change.

   Jul 13, 2021 · But the same rules apply if you join solid-wood components to sheet goods. For example, when screwing a solid-wood top to a plywood carcase, drill standard pilot holes at the front of the carcase panel, and slots toward the rear [Photo M]. This forces the panel to move toward the back, keeping reveals at the front consistent.

   Mar 13, 2024 · In general, floating wood floors that aren’t nailed or glued down require about a 1/2-in. space around the perimeter and enough clearance at thresholds, doorjambs and other obstructions to allow movement. Solid wood floors also require at least a 1/2 in.-wide expansion space around the perimeter. Let tabletops float. TMB STUDIO

   Mar 21, 2016 · This will allow the back to move but keep the front firmly aligned. Use “frame and panel” construction. Panels may be plywood or solid wood with a raised center field. Most folks like the look of raised panels better. If using solid wood panels, DO NOT glue it to the frame. The panel must be free to float and change dimension.

   The table top, however, is a different story. If the boards run the length of the table (such as a harvest table), the length of the table top will not move from season to season (longitudinal movement is zero). But the width of the table could easily move by 1/4″ for a table that is 36″ wide. A wider table could easily move more.

   If a standard interior door was made of solid wood it would expand by about 1/4″ over the span of a year, making the door stick shut during the summer. By using a narrow frame around the exterior and placing the floating panel inside the frame (without glue, of course) you allow the panel to expand and contract within the frame, eliminating a drastic change to the overall dimensions of the door.

   Does Wood move in all directions?

   • Wood does not move in all directions equally. The greatest movement is across the grain. There is very little movement along the length. Again a word of caution. We can predict, with a high degree of accuracy, the movement in a large quantity of wood. It is not possible to accurately predict the movement of a single piece of wood.

   Why does wood keep moving?

   • 1. Wood moves. 2. Wood never stops moving. 3. Attempts to constrain wood movement will cause problems. Fresh-cut lumber may contain more water than wood by weight, resulting in a moisture content over 100%. The reason? Moisture. Standing trees and milled logs are full of it.

   What happens if you put Wood in a raised panel door?

   • The wood will always undergo changes in moisture content and dimension. Consequently doors and drawers may stick during periods of high humidity. Moulding joints may open. Solid wood panels in raised panel doors may shrink exposing unfinished wood along the edges of the frame.

   What should a woodworker do when building a piece of furniture?

   • Woodworkers need to do two things when engineering and building a piece of furniture: (1) machine joinery that will secure different pieces of wood to one another with the appropriate amount of strength, and (2) allow wood movement to freely take place. The first point, joinery, has been discussed at great lengths.

   Can you use plywood instead of solid wood?

   • Three narrower panels move less than 1⁄10" each. Sheet goods, such as plywood or veneered MDF, won't expand or contract significantly, so using these in place of solid wood eliminates concerns about movement. But the same rules apply if you join solid-wood components to sheet goods.

   Why does a wood board change shape?

   • Movement within a board isn’t uniform; one section might move more than another. That leads to warping, twisting and cupping. Most of these changes happen in the initial drying phase, but wood can change shape later, too. TMB STUDIO Inspecting the grain pattern on the end of a board will reveal whether the board has vertical grain or flat grain.

   A: Orienting the widest surfaces with the grain minimizes width expansion changes. Allowing wood movement at ends and reinforcing weak grain directions improves stability. Q: Why can finishes crack or fail if wood movement is not considered? A: Wood dimensional changes can delaminate more rigid finish layers that do not flex.
