Good day!
I'm running 3/4" oak braces across a 1/2" pine top that measures approx 24 x 18... Is this a bad idea because the pine is going to want to expand across the grain and the oak will prevent that? Should I use pine instead with the grain running in the same direction as the top so they expand together? Does the smallish size of the top make this a non issue?
THANK YOU for your help in advance ...
