question on joining wood to form panels

[beebeenator]

I was gluing together some 2 x 4 lumber to make a panel and forgot to orient the grain properly.

The wood is a kiln dried tanguile all the ring pattern are facing one direction.

Given that its kiln dried, should i worry too much about movement? I am tempted to leave it as is. But since its a sizeable furniture. I may have a hard time when it does finally decide to move. But i doubt indoors will have too much humidity...

I could always saw off the panels (just tedious) and glue them back in the correct orientation.

Thanks.

if you mean that wood will move against each other due to grain direction, No. it will move sideways and no towards the ends. so it should be fine...

I was more afraid of it cupping if for some reason it starts to absorb more moisture than it already has now

come to think of it, it will tend to twist more than cup...
