Your wood is starting to shrink. How long has it been wood instead of a tree? What type of wood is it? ....... Jerry (in Tucson)

it was cherry and maple glued up,,i got both pieces from a local hardwood store

+1 for Jerry’s comment, plus if you bought it from a local hardwood store, I’ve seen more than one of those that only air dries, and for dubious times.
You might not only be shrinking on one side, you might be expanding on the other as it regains moisture.
In other words, check your moisture if you have a meter. You might be surprised…

where do I get a moisture meter and what is the right moisture reading for dry wood,,

Tangential shrinkage is roughly double radial shrinkage, so anything turned round when green winds up oval when dried.

You can get one Amazon, Rockler, woodcraft. HF has them, but not very good. Price will depend on accuracy. Around 8% is a good number. Normall you would turn to rough leaving about 2x thickness of finished, set aside in paper bag, check moisture, then finish.
