    Gaps in Bruce solid 3/4" oak in front of toe kick register

    I have these large gaps between my boards upwards of 1/8" directly in front of the toe kick register. The register doesn't have a damper on it, like most toe kicks for some reason, and I can't figure out if the hot winter furnace air is over drying the floor in front of that register. Anyone...

May I start by saying this isn't a "why wood floors are bad in kitchens" thread I already know I'm just trying to preserve what I've got, repair some damage done by previous water splashing owner.
