Within the last 10 years, I've built many tables.
There's been two times and now a third where after almost a year, the customer has contacted me saying their tips have bowed. All 3 tips have been maple wood.
I didn't use breadboard ends on either of them nor did I use the steel braces on the bottom.
I seal my furniture with oil based polyurethane.
I don't understand if it's something I'm doing or what's going on.
After one top warped 2 years ago, I installed the steel pieces under the top. I think they were c or U channel maybe? Anyway I never heard back from the customer so maybe they worked.
I guess I have to make another top or try the braces. I'm just not sure what is going on here.
And I live in Kentucky.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Eddie
