crackling soundboards!

[David Love]

Do overs?  That's surprising.  It seems  dangerous to warranty a soundboard
against cracking in 0 humidity situations or any situation really.  There
are just too many factors out of one's control to do that, it would seem.

  I've also heard of some rebuiblders in your area  & farther up toward the
big apple that have experienced the same things in some of there more
recent belly jobs.  The cracks are starting around the edges of the boards.
Can you confirn this? WHere are the ones you've seen?
Some have had do overs. Is this weather phenomena common back there?
