#1 | | planing a wide board? Name: Robert Slone City: Spring Hope State: NC County: Nash Join Date: May 2007 Age: 55  04-14-2009, 12:12 PM
Anyone know of a shop where I might get a large slab of pecan planed? It's 21 1/4" wide x 2 3/4" thick x 77" long. It also needs to be cut to length. My planer is only 15" and my saws won't handle the thickness.
Looking for a shop in the Wake, Franklin, Nash, Wilson Co. area. | | Views: 358 | |

Rob, in a few more weeks I'll be able to help you out. Let me know if you can wait that long.

I'm in no hurry. Eventually I'm going to make a food preparation table. It will be 48" long with turned legs and a lower shelf. The slab will be the top. It's a beautiful hunk of wood. The leftover piece will likely become a cutting board, maybe another smaller table.
Thanks! | |

Hey Scott -
Please let me know when you get set up. I got one of the pecan slabs from Rob (Thanks Rob!) and would like to have it surfaced as well.
Thanks - Joel

Rob-
You might ask the guys at East Wake Hardwoods over in Zebulon (not too far away). I recall they have a great big ole planer in their shop. Nice people there, too.

Scott,
I'm going to check with East Wake Hardwoods first since they are a lot closer. Joel's slab is identical to mine. It was the next slice off the same log. If EWH can't do it I'll be back in touch with you. | |

Rob - no problem.
I didn't mention it before, but the machine that I'm setting up is a jointer - planer, not just a planer. It will flatten and dimension boards up to 25" wide. I also have a 37" widebelt sander that I'll be putting into operation around the same time. | |

Seriously, best wishes on your continuing shop resurrection.
