I'm intending to make a bookcase out of oak-veneered MDF and solid Oak (Am white).
One reads about solid wood shrinking/expanding along the grain, but MDF being quite stable. If I glue a meaty solid-oak lipping to an MDF shelf, is there a danger of the two fighting each other, causing warping, bowing whatever?
The reason for using meaty lippings is to add strength to the MDF, and to look good.
Thanks IA,
