📚 Understanding Wood Movement

Wood expands and contracts with moisture changes. Tangential movement (across growth rings) is typically 2-3x greater than radial movement.

Movement by Species

  • Oak: 0.0036 tang./0.0018 rad.
  • Maple: 0.0029 tang./0.0014 rad.
  • Pine: 0.0026 tang./0.0012 rad.
  • Cherry: 0.0027 tang./0.0013 rad.

Formula: Movement = Width × Coefficient × MC Change
