I'm making drawers with sides out of flatsawn maple. About 7" high. I would like to use quartersawn oak drawer fronts since I like the grain pattern. Half-blind dovetail joint. I've already made one as pictured.
But now I'm fretting about wood movement since I have a flatsawn maple side piece joined to a quartersawn front piece.
I calculated that the flatsawn piece might have seasonal movement about 1/32" to 1/64" more than the quartersawn piece along the 7" width. What do you think the chances of joint breakage are??
Most others online have said "it is fine", but my local woodworking instructor suggests something will give.
