Sister wants a 12' table for the yard and of course sent me a bunch of pinterest DIY links. They all use 2x10 fir from home depot. I came across a post where one guys table majorly warped. Is warping avoided when using home depot 2x10 lumber? If so, how? From my understanding, the moisture content is too high and warping is nearly guaranteed.
Plan was to biscuit glue and join the boards together making a table top. Add breadboard ends and then screw it to a base with some cross stretchers/support from underneath.
I can source some decking wood that's been kiln dried and use that instead. Cost more probably, around $2.50 a linear foot.
