Subject : Wood movement in a lamination
Posted : 2001-01-19 8:29 PM
Post #29880

I'm gluing up a curved panel from 1/16" thk pieces of cherry that will be 1/2" final thickness and need to know what to expect for wood movement due to humidity / temp. The panel is divider in a secretary desk and will be attached to solid cherry shelves on top and bottom. I'm keeping the grain in the lamination oriented in the same direction as the solid pieces (no cross banding) hoping to get them to expand and contract at the same rate. Anyone have experience with this. Will the wood movement in the lamination be much different than the solid piece?

Dear Bruce,For the most part consider the movement to be the same a solid would be, maybe slightly less because its laminated but not much. I dont know the overall size of your panel but you could lay the 1/16" laminations 90 degrees to each other. That would make for a very stable panel. Something to consider unless the edges will show and you dont want that look.SincerelyDarryl Keil: I'm gluing up a curved panel from 1/16" thk pieces of cherry that : will be 1/2" final thickness and need to know what to expect for wood : movement due to humidity / temp.
