: : What is the cause of checking and/or cracks on a table top made : with : : crotch mahogany and already finished. How can this be prevented.I : : have a small factory in the Philippines and use crotch and swirl : : mahogany for all my table tops.I do my own veneering. Would : : appreciate any tips. : John,: I refer you to this excellent article by Kent Pitcher. It contains : all the information you need to know about checking.: http://www.woodweb.com/knowledge_base/Veneer_Checking.html: Regards,: John Ersing: www.veneersystems.comJohn,You are not alone with checking problems on Mahogany crotch. Of all the veneers this one checks more that any other I have ever worked with. Although completely eliminating all checking is very difficult with mahogany crotch I find that using urea resin glue does the best to minimize it as it is the most rigid glue you can get.SincerelyDarryl Keil
