I recently noticed that the doors on a pine bookshelf, a gift to me, bought at a certain BigBox store, do not meet.
the gap is now at least 1/3 of an inch.
Can the wood shrink that much?

Yes, they can. Probably a big gap to start with too.

Likely a built in over compensation to insure that the doors do not touch. If it has Euro hinges you can adjust that out pretty easily.

It can... Pick up a board stretcher and you should be able to get it back to size.

there's a silver lining; I can just take the doors *off* and replace them with lucite. and hide the sides with higher screens.
