List: After reading Dels last post on the issue I have become convinced that the term "compression" is at the root of the "dissagreement" or at least my own problem grasping all this. For my own part I believe the whole thing could be cleared up if one of you would explain just how a board curved by force or by use of humidity can be "Compressed" on the upper surface. I can easily see how compression applies to the bottom side, but I cant get past this idea that the convex side is "stretched" rather then "squeezed". >From what I was able to gather from Dels last, it seems like this has something to do with cell structure and how it reacts to differing stress. In any case.. I would really really appreciate somebody clearing this up. Richard Brekne I.C.P.T.G. N.P.T.F. Bergen, Norway
