I have acknowledged before that Rollie has a valid concern, and that I made no mention as to either the advisability of not turning the grain direction or my reason for doing that in the December T&T. I do not feel the need to add anything to the discussion but wanted to post a link to something that was relevant that I just read about a week ago.
Unfortunately, I can not find it, but found a pdf and another link that address what I was looking for.
As a Ca. state licensed cabinetmaker and millwright in my early days I would like to say that the bigger the wood surface is the more it will tend to move.
look at old table tops that are designed to move for a good idea of what to do. for doors, raised panels inserts need some movement.
The small carving will not be a major issue at all.
I have more concerns about Doc's sleds design being some what light duty, having small cross rails, tape and wood placement indexing.
