It's good that Don is making these!

Actually the pine is fine, no change or warping.
I "fixed" several small boxes last year that had warped, had to sand them flat, then deepen the cut outs.

Ollie is right about the stress, happens with metal too. That is why it has to be annealed and equalized for some applications.

The wood is not that big a deal - it can be "fixed".
