RE: PT Barnum Is Smiling

I bought a 19"x19"x4" air dried maple platform from Mapleshade at the same time I bought the iso blocks - about 10 years ago. Within a year the 4" thick maple platform had warped pretty significantly so I took it out of service.
About 6 months ago I took it to a cabinet shop and they ran it through their drum sander to re-true it. So far so good.

Anytime you get wood stock of that thickness that has not been kiln dried it will move, it's just a matter of when and how much. That experience is what convinced to take a pass on their Amish built rack(s).

Understand, I'm not trying to bash Mapleshade as I think several of their products are great, but the fact remains that some of their products are a lot of hyperbole.

Still, I don't know how I will be able to sleep until the iso blocks that my York furnace rest on are oriented and tuned by ear for the best possible performance.
