	By using the expansion and contraction coefficient in the table, it is possible to calculate the probable variation in the width of a piece of wood board. The formula is as follows:
	Expansion and Contraction Coefficient Cherry..........0.00248 Walnut..........0.00274 Ash..........0.00274 Yellow Birch..........0.00338 Maple..........0.00353 White Oak..........0.00365 Red Oak..........0.00369 Beech..........0.00431 Back to MSDS	WIDTH OF THE BOARD X COEFFICIENT OF THE SPECIES X THE VARIATION IN THE % OF MOISTURE CONTENT = VARIATION IN THE BOARD EXAMPLE USING MAPLE WOOD 2.5" BOARD X 0.00353 COEF. OF MAPLE X 2.4 VAR. IN % OF MC* = 0.02118" or APPROXIMATELY 1/64"
