Where can I find information on wood shrinkage?
Here are some resources for this issue:
General information is available in the
ASD/LRFD Manual
. The longitudinal direction shrinkage (from green to oven dry) for normal wood usually ranges from 0.1 to 0.2 percent of the green dimension. For the radial and tangential directions, there is an approximate 1% change in dimensions per 4% change in moisture content.
USDA
Wood Handbook

WWPA Shrinkage Tech
Canadian Wood Council's
"DimensionCalc"
will calculate for the dimensional change in wood due to shrinkage
