So I just recently decided to take up furniture building. Nothing fancy, just trying to build some custom sized tables for my house, maybe a bed frame or cabinets eventually.

How do I keep wood from warping? I recently bought some lumber from the generic big box store that was relatively straight/flat when I got it, but it sat for a couple of weeks and now it's starting to cup and twist, enough that I probably can't use it for a table top. And I don't have a planer to mill it flat again.

I've read a little about wood grain and moisture - do I need to find oven dried wood for these projects?
