  • This generated a bit of sawdust... By the time this project was all said and done, this bag was completely full.
  • After a couple passes through the planer, I started to get a feel for how pretty the grain was.
  • To square it up, I cut a couple straight pieces of plywood and tacked them to the sides with roofing nails (so they'd be easy to pry-back out). This would give me a straight edge to send through the planer. On the front-side, I tried to place the nails in sections of wood that I'd be planing off so the nail holes wouldn't be visible.
  • And we had to make a decision, keep the live-edge or not?
  • After sitting in storage for several years the wood got a bit warped and twisted, so I had to get it squared back up.
