buffing Wooden keys (take humidity with times)

[Tehu]

Hi, I Just play on my friend Rhodes (look like new) and then i go back to play with my own Rhodes (Look like is age hehe), and the key action is really not the same, because i think mine was stored in a place with a little bit of humidity, and my wooden keys (not all but half of them)rubs on each other more than a good condition Rhodes, its make the action more hard on some keys! I just want to know if I ''buf'' (little bit) the side of my keys, is theres a problem? Logicaly no, i think, but i want to know your point of view  (Sorry for my poor english, i'm French-Canadian)
Thanks!

Hi Xavier,
are you sure that the problem comes from the wood itself and not from the felts?

witch felt? bottom of the keys? dont think so, but i'll check tonight!

The felts in the key bushings and the key pedestal felts. I don't think the ones underneath the keys can cause much friction.

okai! i dont think so, all the felt are very clean! i really think that the key near the hammer are rubbing...  i'll check tonight!
