Pine warping,cracking

[load2go]

Ive been making some thick rustic pine furniture and the prices I made a few weeks ago are starting to warp. I could live with it, if wasn't to bad but on some the joints are left with gaps.

How do I stop this or do I need to prepare the timber to stop it before it starts?

Thanks in advance for any info.

Is the furniture in the house? If so did you acclimate the wood before making? If not then this maybe the cause. What kind of pine did you use?

Large section softwood is likely to move, design could also be a cause.

What timber is it? joinery grade? Spruce?......
