It will shrink and it will check. Most of the checking on the bench top is
limited to the first 6 inches on either end. Mine needs a good scrub
planing and cleanup again. Of course, first, I have to unbury it.
My local guy can, on special orders, dry to any size. If some one is
interested, I can find out what he is getting for oak in the heavier widths.
