It will shrink and it will check.  Most of the checking on the bench top is
limited to the first 6 inches on either end.  Mine needs a good scrub
planing and cleanup again.  Of course, first, I have to unbury it.

My local guy can, on special orders, dry to any size.  If some one is
interested, I can find out what he is getting for oak in the heavier widths.
