When doing woodworking, you typically want to let the wood get comfortable to the controlled temperature and humidity in the workshop for a couple days. This lets the wood warp and expand/contract to settle in a consistent shape and size. Then you'll cut it and fasten it together so that when the humidity and temperature does change, the joinery keeps the wood in the intended shape.
