@edenwoodcrafts: I talk about this all the time - but this skill is one of the most useful things I’ve added to my toolbelt - is a skill a tool? I don’t know how else to say it, you get it! Some boards are just too short to easily run through the planer and this is a quick and easy method of material prep with very little waste. · I resaw with a @Harvey Industries Woodworking C14 bandsaw, something close to the thickness I want to end up with, and then place it on a jig and take a no 5 jack plane to it followed by a smoother (I really love the no 3). · One of the beautiful things about making art is that you dont *always* have to get something exact, I can generally look at a piece and know its the relative thickness that will work for my piece but you could also be more precise with this! · #maker #woodworking #intarsia #exoticwood #handtools
