Perhaps I expected too much!
I ordered the red oak to laminate onto a a bullet box for my son. (He is a competitive rifle shooter and the box was built to hold .22 cal cartridges in drilled out holes.) Fortunately I only needed an 8" section because the strip of 1/8" red oak was cupped in one direction on one end of the strip and cupped in the other direction on the other end. I was able to get a piece out of the middle and used some serious clamping to glue it in place. Perhaps all sheets of wood that thin have a tendency to warp. Perhaps I expected too much.
