I'm certainly no expert on this, but I think wood can and does change
and depending on the type of wood sometimes it changes a lot.  I've
personally thought the hornbeam was pretty stable but my "research"
would have to be termed gut instinct.

Two years ago I hung a new set of h,s,f on a B, and I thought I had 
done a real good job of traveling the shanks. But this morning when I 
put the action on my bench for routine maintenance, I discovered 
about a dozen or so shanks that were traveling a little to one side. 

Now, am I just getting that much critical with my own work, or do 
flanges tend to "settle" in, thus needing to be traveled again?
