Any ideas? The main reason that wood warps after it has been worked is that it was not adequately seasoned before it was worked. And for woodworking, it is usually kiln-dried, which involves stacking in criss-cross fashion. For furniture, this is not usually an issue, but for things as small as bobbins, I suspect a patch of that less-cured wood could easily warp. The older bobbins were frequently warped, because they were made from green wood! Clay - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
