Good comments on sealing the wood. I am in CO where my harwood flooring gets wavy if I forget to turn on the humidifier in the winter. We cycle between nicely dry and pretty freakin dry. We had our front door that warped and was replaced under warranty. With the replacement, the door manufacturer made sure the builder sealed the door... top to bottom. The first one was not and it showed.
I am handy, but have no tools. While I was in college my step-dad worked at a custom shop... I'd take high-end veneered wood and make subwoofer boxes. Prior to that, and when I was in woodshop in high school, my mom worked at a fine hardwoods shop. I made a bunch of skim boards out of Finnish birch plywood. I turned a sweet bowl out of Koa... etc... Since then my brain has forgotten everything.
