Pine wood table cracking and warping Posted by Dee on 1/14/2002, 12:07 am 24.70.95.205 Hello Mr woodwell, I love your site!! My question for you doctor is I just bought a pine coffee table (rustic) and it is made in mexico. It looked all good in the store and now I got it home (Alberta,Canada) and it has in less than a week cracked on the sides and top and is now warping. I was told that its the heat in my place (Top floor apartment) yes it is warm in here and its the middle of winter in Alberta, but "It was made in mexico" How could it be any warmer here than there. Yes I know its dry here but really. I need advice im told a couple of things 1. thats what rustic things are supposed to do! Is that true? Does rustic = broken? And Im also told there is not much to do but let it crack, is there anything you recomend. I have a option to exchange it for the same kind of table. Should I settle for damaged goods or at least try to get a better one? And if I do will I have the same problems cause thats just what rustic pine does? Thank you Dr Woodwell All comments will be appreciated Nadine Alberta Canada Responses: Re: Pine wood table cracking and warping Dr Woodwell 1/19/2002, 1:10 pm Re: Pine wood table cracking and warping Dee 1/17/2002, 3:44 pm Re: Pine wood table cracking and warping Dee 1/14/2002, 12:11 am Re: Pine wood table cracking and warping same as above 1/17/2002, 3:47 pm
