I'm building a hanging walnut tea cabinet (roughly 26" tall x 6" deep x 13" wide). The back panel I planned on using 3 shiplap ambrosia maple boards. However, upon further review of my design I see that my SketchUp file calls for 1/4" thick back slats. I purchased 4/4 (7/8") kiln dried ambrosia maple and have had it acclimating in my work space for a few months now. These boards need to be resawn to use as back slats for another small cabinet project also, so I thought I could get all of the 1/4" stock milled from this board.
Question:
Even with acclimating do you think the ambrosia maple 7/8" board will likely still bow/cup/twist after resawing and planing to 1/4" thickness for boards that'll be ~3-4" wide x ~26" long thus rendering them useless for shiplap back panels ? Or is there no way to really know until it's tried due to every board likely acting different ?
Thanks in advance !
