Re: slab door warpage
Jason, I've never built a cabinet door, so take my suggestion for what it's worth.
Is it possible to attach the fronts of the doors to a very solid piece of MDF, solid enough to take the twist

Re: slab door warpage
Hey Jason,
I have done several slab door kitchens and I grit my teeth every time. I

Re: Calculating Wood Shrinkage
Its seems to me the tenon would move by the factor times the tenon width and splitting the tenon into two parts will not change anything as the two tenons are still attached to the single board. The
