Thread: Climate conundrum

I'm having real problems at the moment as i have a few boxes made for orders and the lids are moving. Last night after the washing was hung in the laundry i put a box that was playing up the most on the bench and shut the door and this morning the lid was fitting perfectly, just like when i first cut it. I am now thinking of getting a humidifier and locking just made boxes in a room until i can finish them. I know these are first world problems but i hope the weather changes, although i doubt it.

Hi Fumbler/double.d, Have had the same problem with a piece of Spotted Gum which after being cut to size cupped quite badly due to the humidity here in Brisbane. I did turn it up the opposite way on the shelf and after about 3/4 weeks it returned to normal. And this week I decided to finish the box only to find it worse than before, very frustrating. It's now going to to have four rubber feet on it and will be repurposed as a cutting board. The weather wins again. Brian.
