So, take two. After the mess of the first board, I’m going to try this a different way. I started by surface planing the next board just to clean it up, and then marking out the slats with the slat template before resawing it:
30
Sep 16
Low yields
Well, poop.
The idea was, take a 30″ long, 8″ wide, 1″ thick board of ash, and resaw it into eight 30″x1¾”x⅜” slats.
But I made such a bad job of the resawing that three of the slats aren’t usable (they’re way too thin thanks to the disston saw wandering), one is marginal, and of the four I can use, two have a small (around an inch in size) spot where they drop below the ⅜” mark.
Bah. At least I can use the three write-offs for testing finishes and the like.
Four down, 16 to go…
