Next week I’m going to my parents in law place to spend a couple of weeks holydays.
Last year I promised my father in law that I would make a door for his cellar; while the final design is not finished because I will ask for his approval I’m thinking about making it as shown on the sketches.
A top and bottom hidden spline acting as if a breadboard end and vertical matching slats.
My question is the following:
The wood is going to be oak, and the door will be exposed to open air all year round with temperatures ranging from -10º (14F) up to 35º-40º (104F).
With such extreme temperatures should I bother about wood movement at all, or it is going to be useless giving some space for wood movement?
I have the feeling that being exposed, no matter what I’ll do the door is going to move, shrink expand and eventually crack.
Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated
