    Adam beautiful Box!

    One question did you dry the amboya first? I find that it moves and cracks on me so I have to turn it twice.

    Bob, I rough-turned the box and DNA soaked it for a day or two, then wrapped it in paper for a week, then unwrapped and dried another three weeks.

    No cracks.

    I did another box that did develop a small crack, but it mostly turned out and was filled with CA.
