A useful tool is offered by https://www.woodweb.com/cgi-bin/calculators/calc.pl to help calculate the amount of shrinkage that will take place in wood as it ages. Determine the moisture content, the species of wood, whether it is flat sawn or quarter sawn, the target moisture content and the dimensions and it will tell you final dimensions.
I am making matched solid wood doors that meet in the middle and need to determine the initial width that they should be cut. The calculator will not be exact.
