I am curious about a few things on casting wood.
1) after the wood is cast how much does it warp or shrink?
2) does it matter if the wood is stabilized or not?
3) anyone know how much fluid is consumed by the wood on average? WSSI tells me half the weight is average for stabilizing but can range from 20 to 150%.
4) green vs dry wood, does it matter? Alumilite FAQ states that moisture content in the fluid yields nasty results, am I correct in assuming that this will be a disaster with green wood?
5) any warping factor during the casting?
6) any color changes in the wood when casting?
