January 5, 2007, Newsletter Issue #103: Wood Shrinkage
1
Tip of the Week
Wood shrinks across the grain. If a round table top is perfectly round when measured in 2 dimensions, itīs new. If the table is old, there should be a difference of about one-eighth inch per foot. Marquetry also tends to contract irregularly, usually sinking below the rest of the surface. If a piece with marquetry has a perfectly smooth surface, the marquetry was probably added later to add flash or "tart up" the object, as dealers like to say.
