Hello,
I am new at woodworking and have been working on some wood for several months. The wood has sat in my shop for a couple of months. My moisture meter shows the wood to be at 8%. My shop is an attached converted guarage with heating and cooling. We live in New Mexico and use evaperative cooling. Yesterday it was raining and I jonted several boards flat. I than set up my planer and ran one of the boards through the planer twice and by the second pass the board had bowed. I tried one more board to make sure it was not just a bad piece of wood and the same thing happened. Today I went back into my shop and one of the boards I had only jointed flat on one side had bowed also. What is causing this. I am affraid to touch any more wood until I know what is happening and what I can do to stop it. Any ideas what might be happening?
