turpentine movement
How stable is turpentine? I have a 1x2.4m slab for a dining table, using steel legs, no apron. Is it worth putting breadboard ends on in case of cupping?

Once it's properly dry its reasonable. But if it's green forget it for a few years. Cup/spring/bow/twist... 13% tangential shrinkage means it's going to move. For mine I'd rip it into planks and join them back together.

If your breadboard ends are made from rail line it may make some sort of an impression.
