I make a lot of solid wood plaques and I am having an issue with warping. No one has complained but I see it.
If my plaque is very wide I rip my pieces into about 2 1/2" strips alternate the grain, glue them up and plane the whole piece down the thickness I want. Normally about 5/8" think. I paint my backer then glue it on. After that I spray the whole project. I think the glue is adding enough moisture to the wood that it causes the warpage. I know it is best to finish wood on both sides but I am concerned that my backer won't stick good enough.
If you have any ideas on my process I would appreciate it. Thanks, dave
