It didnt really seem that humid today, but I had a crazy problem with layers in the plywood swelling. I'm using 3/4" A-1 veneer core maple ply which has to get wrapped with hardwood so I can route an ogee on it...
About 15 minutes or so after the plywood is cut, every other layer in the core swells enough to feel with your finger.. Hold the solid maple strip against the plywood edge, and you can see a 1/64" gap...
So do you think these swollen ply's will squish down when I glue and clamp on the solid maple strips? I'd hate to have to run every edge over the jointer to smooth it up just before glue-up...
MDF core was not an option for this project.
