I've put oak at 12/14/16% mc into a bookshop as a counter. Only 20mm thick.
It went bananas after about 2-3 months.

What did you do with it in the end?

Apart from directing weight  equally onto each plank to restrain it the stickers control water loss and I imagine without them water is lost quicker from the ends which means  the ends become more liable to split in the early stages.

 

The miller on the estate where I started work would always use softwood sticks on hardwoods (and maybe vice versa) . Also I would expect to use thicker stickkers in Scotland than in Surrey as it is drier and warmer here so moisture can move out too fast.

 

Im new to this and learning all the time, so thanks for the advice.  

 

Ive not see the issues you've mentioned in the two years they've been stickered. But next time just to be safe I'll follow your guidelines.
