mistermikev Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 i have no planer and no jointer and not even a table saw. Just a router and some other stuff. I do have experience cutting two pieces of solid surface to match using the front/back side of a router bit. I've heard of others using that method to join two halves of a guitar body. I'm going to go visit some local lumber yards but wanted to ask: what is the liklihood of finding wood that has been planed well? Is this a recipe for disaster? Should I just buy a body blank? I'm confident I can make a joint that will work, but my whole plan would be caput if after that I was working on a surface that was less than flat.

ScottR Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Look up some of the router sleds around here. It is basically a set of parallel rails that support your router at support your router at a consistent height over your workpiece, so you can mill a flat surface into it.
