Thanks, I’ll check that out!

I think this beech is quite dark because it’s wet and newly cut, it’s mellowed out a bit now. Hopefully it doesn’t crack and warp too much and I’ve cut it thick enough to allow for shrinkage!

There is a cool website that's basically a big encyclopedia of wood for woodworkers. Check out the part about the shrinkage, it may be of help

Nice one, I estimated 5% radial shrinkage so should be ok as long as I don’t have to take too much off to flatten it!
