re: Shoe Rack/Bench

Thanks everyone! I agree, it’s best to start the joinery as soon as possible after the final milling. The process that I now follow starts with initial jointing one face and squaring one edge, followed by planing to an oversized thickness. I then sticker each piece overnight at a minimum. The even air flow really seems to help keep warping to a minimum, although some might happen. When I’m ready to start the joinery, I do another light pass over the jointer if necessary, square an edge, plane to final thickness, and rip to width on the table saw.
