    Default Cupped Timber

    This has probably been answered before, I have done a quick search. Theory: I have a seasoned/KDrough sawn piece of timber(no not pine) that has cupped. If I were to run it through the thicknesser to remove the cupping would it cup again????????????
    Cheers

    If the timber is dry evenly throughout the board it won't cup again if machined flat unless 1 face gets wetter than the other.

    The cupping may increase/decrease if 'tis moved to an area of different average humidity.
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.
