Wood Square Coffee Tables

Will wood movement in this project be a factor??
I’m making a butcher block top for a coffee table. It’s going to be 2.5 to 3 inches thick. I’m using 8ft whitewood 2×4’s from Lowe’s. The pieces will be laid with the endgrain facing top/bottom. As a visual, it’s going to look like little squares & rectangles side by side from a the top view, thus I’m gluing up 2.5 to 3 inch pieces side by side.
I’ve heard that 2×4’s (non-treated) are still pretty wet at the store and need to dry out for a long period of time to prevent wood movement.
Will I need to take that into account since I’m dealing with short pieces side by side in the butcher block top? Or can I get to cutting & clamping with the 2×4’s straight from Lowe’s (or any other home improvement store)?? This is an air conditioned living room coffee table, and I’d like to prevent any splits from ever occurring.
i can guaran-tar-tee ya, the pieces are going to seperate. whitewood, actually a HD term, usually refers to radiata pine. depending on where you live, in 2×4 dimension it will either be a pine or a spruce at a box store. much too soft for your purpose. for what you are trying to do, you need a dense, tight-grained low moisture wood like maple, ash, lyptus. you can buy it online dimensioned as you need it. try web search for hardwoods. or rockler.com
Hope that helps.
