Two thoughts: I've learned about swelling lumber from none other than Norm Abram
He claims it swells more perpendicular to the grain than parallel to the grain. Good woodworkers know this, and know how to make cabinets and furniture that does not fail or warp. And - nickel silver is actually a type of brass - not steel - no iron.
