No, i cut them by hand on the bandsaw, then i rough flatten them on an edge sander. Then i use a short 8" fret leveler for the final flattening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottR Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 You've got one blank in there with no laminates. What is the timber and what made you decide against laminates on that particular piece? Change of pace? The timber itself? SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasnt thick enough to spare any planing after making it a multi lam piece. And if i turned it sideways, the grain was boring and looked like walnut.
