<DIV>Dale,</DIV>
<DIV> Excellent information on wood and it's characteristics,
a must for people who are gluing and machining wood and similar natural
products, it is especially helpful and important to know that different cuts of
wood change dimensionally in different amounts and directions. People often ask
me "why do some one-piece ivory keyboards have some cracks, and others do not?",
if one reads-between-the-lines, this article explains why.</DIV>
