Stupid Wood Question- Advice Needed

#1 Post by MrMike »

I need some opinions here. I picked up some AraucoPly yesterday, and all the stuff they had in stock was warped a bit. I'm getting ready to build a pair of XF212s and one of the sheets I bought is showing a bit of warping. Would it be to my advantage to fingerjoint the corners of the cabs to help to hold the sides more firmly in order to resist warping?

No. The jig procedure in the plans will fix any warp. Once glued it will be solid as a rock.
