I did my first glue up of 1" wide x 1/1/4" deep cherry boards for a butcher block style counter top for my brothers house. These were glued up in 3 sections to allow for running them through a lunch box planer to simplify flattening them. So we got the 3 sections done and I set them aside for a while. After returning to the job after a few weeks 2 of the sections have warped pretty bad across in a diagonal direction. They are both warped about 3/8". What did we do wrong? I have been wondering about putting them under gradually increasing clamp pressure to see if I might straighten them. Otherwise it's back to the beginning. The cherry was real dry. I couldn't get a moisture meter reading on them so the boards were less than 6%.
