Issues of warping and cracking also depend on the grain of the wood. Quarter sawn or rift sawn (masame board) cups, twists, or cracks less than plain sawn (itame board). SInce the original poster says he has an itame board that would indicate a greater need to take care with adapting to change of xlimate.

The "hon" in hon kaya means "real" or "true", as opposed to shin kaya which is "new" aka "faux".
