I was planing some pieces of cherry that will be glued up into raised panels. The cherry has been stickered and air dried for a couple of years. Some of the boards have very small "cracks" in the grain. I'm calling them cracks, but voids may be a better discription since they don't go through the board (aren't visible on the other side). The panels will only have the front side visible in the finished project, so I can orient the boards so the voids are on the back side.
I have been working with kiln dried oak almost exclusively for the last 10 years or so and I'm not used to seeing anything like this. Has anyone else had a similar experience when working with cherry? Will these voids cause a problem if the boards are glued up into raised panels? I don't want them to open up into a real crack or split.
Thanks.
