Can a fingerboard shrink in 3 hours??
I replaced a broken trussrod in a mandolin today, and after gluing the fingerboard back on I was surprised to feel a small ledge on either side of the board suggesting that in the 3-hour period since removing it, the board had shrunk over its width. It was definitely flush before I removed it, and I used the same locating pins as the original builder, so it can't have shifted. Is it possible that the board could have shrunk that quickly? The RH in my shop is in the 60s, so all I can think is that the ebony board must have shrunk through the 20 years since it was built, and already was under tension, which was relieved once it was free of the maple neck. Maybe it wasn't fully dried when it was built (?)
Has anyone else encountered such a phenomenon?
