Aussie Hardwood - Banana's

Lifted this down off a shelf after a few years, not surprising that this heavy piece of hardwood turned into a banana considering the way it was sawn.

Job number 1001 to get around to  ::)

If I planed it, I'm pretty sure that it would just eventually cup again the way its been sawn.

Just put foot pads in the four corners and you'll have room for under plank plumbing without doing any routing.

I think it just wants to be an overtype and is transforming on its own  ;)

Perhaps we should check with someone closer to the Equator and see if their plinths stay flat?   ;c)

Jim, if you're worried about your other wood based engines, I'll pm you my address... I find that it takes twice as long for them to curve here as they are frozen half of the year  ;) ;)
