Before you start a project do you let the wood dry out for a few days/weeks or not at all?
I've helped DH build a deck and I know since the boards were pressure treated there was probably alot more shrinkage than if were were using pine boards to build a table or bookcase but isn't this still an issue?
Living in the NE where the winters are cold and dry I'm worried about gaps appearing in joints. How much of an issue is this and how tough is it to overcome?
