Think about it for a second...if a small board is soaked in water until it has absorbed as much moisture as it can hold.......it will swell in all dimensions right? If the board is then drilled with a 3/8ths hole through it..... then it is dried down as much as possible the dimensions of the entire board will diminish....what happens to that 3/8 ths hole? Is it the only part of the board which will get larger????? Jim Bryant (FL)
