Do they even make trees 30" wide anymore?

Do your glue-ups first, then joint.

Do your glue-ups first, then joint.

the beauty of having wide equipment, is fewer boards to glue-up. Two 24" wide boards and you've a table. The Hardwood Store has a 36"? wide planer. One board would make a table.

That thing would scare me in operation, but I can see its usefulness at times. Have you thought about contacting the owner at Raleigh Reclaimed (https://raleighreclaimed.com/pages/contact)? We toured their site at the Raleigh Shop Crawl this past year. The owner purchases equipment like this to restore and use in their shop. He might be interested.
