I have been "commisioned" against my will to make some offering plates for my church. I was trying to get out of this because I'm not confident I am experienced enough to do this yet, but someone delivered a 5' long board of oak that is 2.5" thick and 11" wide, so I guess I'm committed.
My question is this. The gentleman that delivered the wood said that they told him at the lumber company to rip the board in half and glue it back together and that would keep it from warping. I've never heard of this.
Any ideas?
The wood is furniture grade oak (not sure what kind), and dry (racked in a storage shed for about 5 years).
