You can build a piece of furniture beautifully and still have it break apart if you don’t account for seasonal wood movement. Contributing editor Chris Becksvoort learned this the hard way in high school with one of the first things he made. Since then he’s been carefully taking wood movement into account through 50 years of cabinetmaking. Along the way he’s written extensively on the topic in books, articles, and blogs, and taught the subject in workshops. In this webinar he explains the reasons for wood movement and why the amount of movement varies depending on the climate, the wood species and the way a plank is cut. Then he lays out methods for accommodating wood movement in a range of structural situations commonly encountered by the furnituremaker, from the simple to the complex.

There is so much about woodworking that I don't know. Thanks for excellent webinar. I'll need to follow up with more from Christian Becksvoort.
Hey guys, I missed the webinar. Glad to find you posted it online. Lots of great info here, I learned a lot. Thank you!
Excellent webinar. I hope we see more of this quality content and detail.
Thank you
Excellent webinar, but as one who works with metals steel can also be anisotropic. Unfortunately, there are a lot of crazy technical publications on that and not so many basic. Below is a link to a slide presentation on the topic that has more figures and photos than math.
