Hello Ron: What do you mean by the term "checking"? David Love davidlovepianos at comcast.net www.davidlovepianos.com Original message: ...This is not however, a criticism of the practice of drying solid RC&S panels down to 6 - 7%, since it would be quite dangerous to build any solid paneled board without some pre-drying, to avoid the likelihood of checking during dry transients. But when a laminated panel is used, the problem of checking is/will be totally avoided, and the maker is free to bring the panel and ribs together for gluing under normal room conditions... Ron O.
