The table is going to warp. Too thin! And look at all the sap wood. I wouldn't pay big money for this.

Are you running a wood mill? If not, where do you source your wood? I see many local wood mill dont really have kiln dry wood

for the imported woods, like white oak, walnut , maple, its already KD in america, or if african woods like sapele or padauk. its KD in malaysia. when we buy them supplier already settled the KD woods.

as for local woods. some are KD and some are not. usually nyatoh and ksk is KD. i usually get them from timber merchants who process most of their wood for flooring suppliers. we buy them as 1inch or 2inch sawn timber. before they process to flooring sizes.
