Hi peacefrog.
Two words.... WOOD MOVES. It was probably in pretty good shape when milled but by the time it gets to the store it has either warped, cupped, twisted... or all of the above depending on the wood and weather. Wood is very unstable, especially after it has been cut and or milled. Odds are if you leave it laying around in your shop for a while it will move even more.
If possible it's best to mill your own after it has acclimated to your shop.
